Hydrogen-bonded 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole (pyim) manganese(II) complexes as building blocks for molecular assembling: Syntheses and structural character…
2008
Abstract The preparation and crystal structures of three new manganese(II) complexes with 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole (pyim) and pseudohalides as ligands, cis-[Mn(pyim)2(N3)2] (1), cis-[Mn(pyim)2(NCO)2] (2) and cis-[Mn(pyim)2(NCS)2] (3), are reported. The structural building block in each structure is a mononuclear, neutral complex unit. The metal ion in each case adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with the two pseudohalide ligands in cis positions. The main differences between the molecular structures of the three compounds are associated with the orientation of the anionic ligands. Hydrogen bonds between imidazole N–H and the metal-coordinated nitrogen atom of the pseudohalide…
1,2,4,5‐Benzenetetracarboxylic Acid and 4,4′‐Bipyridine as Ligands in Designing Low‐Dimensional Coordination Polymers
2004
The combined use of 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H4bta) and 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy) as ligands with MnII and CoII ions afforded two polymeric compounds with the formulae [Mn(Hbta)(Hbpy)(H2O)2] (1) and [H2bpy][Co(bta)(bpy)(H2O)2] (2). 1 and 2 were prepared under hydrothermal conditions (145 °C, 3 h) and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TG-DTA analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. 1 exhibits a novel double chain structure growing along the b axis where the manganese atoms are linked by tris-monodentate Hbta3− ligands. The values of the manganese···manganese intrachain separations are 7.627(2) A [Mn(1)···Mn(1c); c = −x + 1/2, y − 1/2, −z] and 9.274(4…
DFT and kinetic evidences of the preferential CO oxidation pattern of manganese dioxide catalysts in hydrogen stream (PROX)
2022
Abstract The oxidation functionality of Mn(IV) sites has been assessed by density functional theory (DFT) analysis of adsorption and activation energies of CO, H2 and O2 on a model Mn4O8 cluster. DFT calculations indicate that Mn(IV) atoms prompt an easy CO conversion to CO2 via a reaction path involving both catalyst and gas-phase oxygen species, while much greater energy barriers hinder H2 oxidation. Accordingly, a MnCeOx catalyst (Mnat/Ceat, 5) with large exposure of Mn(IV) sites shows a remarkable CO oxidation performance at T ≥ 293 K and no H2 oxidation activity below 393 K. Empiric kinetics disclose that the catalyst-oxygen abstraction step determines both CO and H2 oxidation rate, al…
Raman and infrared spectromicroscopy of manganese oxides
2009
Abstract Confocal micro-Raman and micro-FT-IR spectroscopies have been used to probe the phase composition of nominally pure single-crystal MnO and mixed MnO–Mn 3 O 4 samples, grown by the method of chemical transport reactions on MgO(1 0 0) substrate. The presence of spinel Mn 3 O 4 phase has been clearly detected in both samples by Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies. The size of the spinel Mn 3 O 4 phase regions has been estimated to be below 20 μm.
Toward multifunctional single-molecule magnets: characterization of dodecanuclear manganese complexes by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
2001
Single-molecule magnets (SMM) based on the dodecanuclear manganese complexes Mn12O12(RCOO)16 can be readily characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This facilitates the synthesis of complex multifunctional molecules that have potential use in the organization of SMM into films or surfaces.
A Click‐Functionalized Single‐Molecule Magnet Based on Cobalt(II) and Its Analogous Manganese(II) and Zinc(II) Compounds
2014
A mononuclear CoII single-molecule magnet suitable for click chemistry was investigated. [M(oda)(aterpy)] complexes (oda2– = oxodiacetate, aterpy = 4′-azido-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) with M = MnII, ZnII, and CoII were synthesized as azide-functionalized building blocks for the copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The required structural integrity of the complexes in solution was proven in great detail by using ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy. For the six-coordinate [Co(oda)(aterpy)] complex, single-molecule magnet behavior was confirmed with an effective energy barrier of 4.2 cm–1.
Crystal structures and magnetic properties of two- and three-dimensional malonato-bridged manganese(ii) complexes
2003
Two new manganese(II) compounds of formula [Mn(mal)(H2O)(2,4′-bpy)]n (1) and [Mn2(mal)2(H2O)2(4,4′-bpy)]n (2) (2,4′-bpy = 2,4′-bipyridine, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine and H2mal = malonic acid) have been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Their structures are made up of two- (1) and three-dimensional (2) arrangements of manganese atoms linked by carboxylate-malonate groups in the anti–syn bridging mode (1 and 2) and bis(monodentate) 4,4′-bpy (2). The 2,4′-bpy group in 1 acts as a monodentate ligand. Each manganese atom in 1 and 2 is six-coordinated with four carboxylate-oxygens in the equatorial plane and a nitrogen atom and a water molecule in the axial positio…
Density functional theory based screening of ternary alkali-transition metal borohydrides: a computational material design project.
2009
We present a computational screening study of ternary metal borohydrides for reversible hydrogen storage based on density functional theory. We investigate the stability and decomposition of alloys containing 1 alkali metal atom, Li, Na, or K M1; and 1 alkali, alkaline earth or 3d / 4d transition metal atom M2 plus two to five BH4 groups, i.e., M1M2BH42‐5, using a number of model structures with trigonal, tetrahedral, octahedral, and free coordination of the metal borohydride complexes. Of the over 700 investigated structures, about 20 were predicted to form potentially stable alloys with promising decomposition energies. The M1Al/ Mn/ FeBH44, Li/ NaZnBH43, and Na/ KNi/ CoBH43 alloys are …
Coordinating behaviour of a new pyridylhydrazone; tris-complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with 2-pyridylcarb…
1991
The preparation and characterization oftris-complexes of MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII and ZnII with a new pyridylhydrazone, 2-pyridylcarbaldehyde-N,N-dimethylhydrazone (pch), are described. In all the complexes pch behaves as a bidentate ligand binding through the pyridine and azomethyne nitrogen atoms. The complexes appear to be monomeric, high spin six-coordinate, and a distorted octahedral stereochemistry around the metal is suggested. The e.p.r. results for both CuII compounds indicate a mainly dx2−y2 ground state with a static Jahn-Teller distortion, whilst for the MnII complex the e.p.r. data indicates a very low symmetry for the MnN6 polyhedron.
Solvent, anion and structural effects on the redox potentials and UV-visible spectral properties of mononuclear manganese corroles
2008
A series of manganese(III) corroles were investigated as to their electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry in nonaqueous solvents. Up to three oxidations and one reduction were obtained for each complex depending on the solvents. The main compound discussed in this paper is the meso-substituted manganese corrole, (Mes 2PhCor)Mn, and the main points are how changes in axially coordinated anion and solvent will affect the redox potentials and UV-vis spectra of each electrogenerated species in oxidation states of Mn(III), Mn(IV), or Mn(II). The anions OAc (-), Cl (-), CN (-), and SCN (-) were found to form five-coordinate complexes with the neutral Mn(III) corrole while two OH (-) or F (-)…
