Spectroscopic techniques and cyclic voltammetry with synthesis: Manganese(II) coordination stability and its ligand field parameters effect on macrocyclic ligands

Manganese(II) macrocyclic complexes are prepared with different macrocyclic ligands, containing cyclic skeleton bearing organic components which have different chromospheres like N, O and S donor atoms and stereochemistry. Thus, six macrocyclic ligands, were prepared and their capacity to retain the manganese(II) ion in solid as well as in aqueous solution was determined and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, 1H NMR, IR, electronic spectral and cyclic voltammetric studies.The electronic spectrum of this system showed a dependence that may be consistent with the formation of stable complexes and coordination behaviour of the ions. ESR spectra of all the complexes are recorded in solid as well as solution, which show the oxidation state of the manganese(II). Spin Hamiltonian manganese(II), which can be defined as the magnetic field vector (ℋ):ℋ=gβeHS+DSz2−3512+E[Sz2−Sy2]+ASI+16aSx4+Sy4+Sz4−70716+1180F35Sz2−4752Sz2+3255/10Significant distortion of the manganese(II) ion in observed geometry is evident from the angle subtended by the different membered chelate rings and the angles spanned by trans donor atoms octahedral geometry. Cyclic voltammetric studies indicate that complexes with all ligands undergoes one electron oxidation from manganese(II) to manganese(III) followed by a further oxidation to manganese(IV) at a significantly more positive potential.
