Abstract
The complexation of manganese(II) with 2,2'-bipyridyl in the presence of the [B10H10]2– and [B10Cl10]2– boron cluster anions has been studied in acetonitrile. The effect of the ratio of reagents on the composition and structure of final complexes has been shown. Mono- and binuclear manganese(II) complexes [(Mn(Bipy)3]2+ and [Mn2(Bipy)4Cl2]2+ have been synthesized with the boron cluster anions as counterions. The X-ray diffraction studies have been performed for complexes [Mn(Bipy)3][B10Cl (I)10] (I), [Mn(Bipy)3][B10Cl10]0.5[B10Cl9H]0.5 · CH3CN (III· CH3CN), and [Mn2(Bipy)4(µ-Cl)2][B10Cl10] · 2CH3CN (IV ⋅ 2CH3CN) (CIF files CCDC nos. 1868278 (I), 1868279 (III · CH3CN), 1868280 (IV · 2CH3CN)). Thermal properties of complex I have been studied.
