Abstract
The reaction of manganese(II) chloride with ammonium salt of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-bromophenoxyacetic acid (4-Br) gave rise to the formation of hydrated complexes with formulas: Mn(MCPA)2·2H2O, Mn(2,4-D)2·2H2O and Mn(4-Br)2·3H2O. The compounds were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, spectroscopic methods, as well as, by magnetic measurements. The complexes crystallize in monoclinic system. The Mn(II) ion is surrounded by oxygen atoms (from carboxylate groups and water molecules) in the octahedral arrangement. Variable-temperature (1.8–300 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that compounds obey the Curie-Weiss law and have the paramagnetic properties. Being heated up to 1173 K the complexes decompose in three steps - first to anhydrous compounds: Mn(MCPA)2/Mn(2,4-D)2/Mn(4-Br)2 through intermediate products: MnO/Mn2OCl2/Mn2OBr2 to the following oxides: Mn2O3/Mn3O4/Mn3O4. The X-ray single crystal structure analysis was performed for Mn(II) complex with 4-bromophenoxyacetic acid after its recrystallization from N,N-dimethylformamide. The formation of hexanuclear cluster of manganese(II) carboxylate with a hydrophobic exterior was observed.
