Exploring supramolecular architectures in Mn(iii) two-compartment o-vanhd Schiff base complexes: insights from apical aqua ligands and bond valence sum analysis

Abstract

Three novel Mn(iii) vanhd complexes, namely [Mn(o-vanhd)(N3−)(H2O)]·CH3OH (1), [Mn(o-vanhd)(NCS−)(H2O)]·2CH3CN (2), and [Mn(o-vanhd)(H2O)]·ClO4·H2O (3), have been successfully synthesized using compartmental ligands paired with ancillary ligands.
