Tris(μ2-methanolato)-μ3-oxido-tris{[(E)-4-chloro-2-({[2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]imino}methyl)phenolato]manganese(III)} perchlorate-dichloromethane-diethyl ether (1/1.1/0.9)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn3(C14H12ClN2O)3(CH3O)3O]ClO4·1.1CH2Cl2·0.9C4H10O, the cation consists of a central Mn3O core with μ2-methanolate bridging between adjacent MnIII atoms, thus giving each MnIII atom a mer-O3coordination environment. Six-coordination for each MnIII atom is provided by the deprotonated Schiff base ligand (E)-4-chloro-2-({[2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]imino}methyl)phenolate. There are extensive C - H⋯O and C - H⋯Cl interactions, which link the cations, anions, and solvent molecules into a three-dimensional array.
