Synthesis and characterization of the binuclear complex di-µ-oxo-bis[N,N′-bis(2-methylpyridyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dimanganese(III,IV)perchlorate trihydrate,[(bispicen)MnO]2(ClO4)3·3H2O

Abstract

The title complex, a new binuclear di-µ-oxo complex of manganese-(III) and -(IV) with a single tetradentate ligand in place of the previously reported bidentate bpy or phen ligands, has been synthesised and characterised by X-ray crystallography and cyclic voltammetry.
