Three polyhydroxyl-bridged tetranuclear MnIII complexes [Mn4(L1a)2(μ3-OMe)2(μ2-OMe)2(MeOH)2] (1), [Mn4(L2a)2(μ3-OMe)2(μ2-OMe)2(H2O)2] (2), and [Mn4(L3a)2(μ3-OMe)2(μ2-OMe)2(H2O)2] (3) derived from Mnn+-promoted reactivity of Schiff base ligands (HL1 = 1-(4-{[(E)-3,5-dichlorine-2-hydroxybenzylidene]amino}phenyl)ethanone O-benzyloxime, HL2 = 1-(4-{[(E)-3-bromine-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene]amino}phenyl) ethanone O-benzyloxime, and HL3 = 1-(4-{[(E)-3,5-dibromine-2-hydroxybenzylidene]amino}phenyl)ethanone O-benzyloxime) have been synthesized and characterized. In the MnIII complexes 1, 2, and 3, the newly formed ligands (L1a)4−, (L2a)4−, and (L3a)4− are derived from the chemoselective cleavage of the C=N bond in the original Schiff base ligands HL1, HL2, and HL3 to form corresponding halogenated salicylaldehyde, 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde, 3-bromine-5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, and 3,5-dibrominesalicylaldehyde, respectively. Then, the further addition of acetone to two halogenated salicylaldehyde molecules in situ α,α double aldol reaction promoted by Mnn+ ions in the presence of base to give the new ligands ((Lna)4−. X-ray crystallographic analyses of the MnIII complexes 1, 2, and 3 show that the three complexes are all tetranuclear structure and crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1. The four MnIII ions and bridging alkoxido groups are arranged in a face-shared dicubane-like core with two missing vertices. In the three MnIII complexes, the asymmetric unit contains two kinds of different MnIII ions (Mn1 and Mn2), where the MnIII ions are all hexacoordinated with slightly distorted octahedral geometries. Simultaneously in the synthesis of multinuclear Mnn+ complexes above, we explored the crystal structure, spatial configuration, and spectroscopic properties of the multinuclear MnIII complexes with different halogen substituents. |
