Popis: The coordination chemistry of macrocyclic complexes are of considerable interest because of their various applications in bioinorganic systems, catalysis and analytical practices. Herein, we synthesized Mn(III) macrocyclic complex, MnN4-complex, and its isothiocyanato derivative MnN5-complex. These complexes were characterized by elemental, FT-IR, UV-Vis and Mass spectroscopic techniques and also by magnetic susceptibility measurements. The results of UV-vis spectral studies suggested that the intense absorption band in the 520–570 nm range is due to the intermolecular charge transfer transition which is associated with Mn–NCS bond in MnN5-complex. The electrochemical investigation indicated the stabilization of unusual oxidation state and modification of electronic structure of Mn central atom through SCN− coordination at fifth position of MnN4-complex. Further, geometric optimization of two complexes was also carried out by DFT calculations using B3LYP/6-31G* basis set. It was suggested that axial coordination of Cl is in interior of N4 cavity whereas NCS is at exterior.
