Abstract
The reaction between aqueous zinc acetate and cimantrene carboxylic acid has been found to yield Zn[(OOCC5H4)Mn(CO)3] 2[O(H)Me]4, whose dissolution in tetrahydrofuran (THF) gives trinuclear Zn3[μ-(OOCC5H4)Mn(CO)3]4[μ-η2-(OOCC5H4)Mn(CO)3]2(THF)4. Labile THF molecules can be replaced by bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline under mild conditions, thus resulting in Phen2Zn3[μ-(OOCC5H4)Mn(CO)3]4[μ-η2- (OOCC5H4)Mn(CO)3]2. Variations in the reagent ratio and the reaction conditions result in mononuclear PhenZn[(OOCC5H4)Mn(CO)3]2(H2O), which contains a coordinated water molecule. The synthesized complexes have been separated with high yields in the form of single crystals and characterized by chemical analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.
