Abstract

The use of the novel pro-ligand H₄L combining the complimentary phenolic oxime and diethanolamine moieties in one organic framework, results in the formation of the first example of a [Mn^III₁₂] truncated tetrahedron and an extremely rare example of a Mn cage conforming to an Archimedean solid.
