Syntheses and Properties of Binuclear Manganese(III) and Manganese(IV) Complexes with 1,2,3,4-Tetrakis(salicylideneamino)-2,3-diphenylbutane

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.64.1692

A new dichlorodimanganese(III) and novel tetrachlorodimanganese(IV) complexes with 1,2,3,4-tetrakis(salicylideneamino)-2,3-diphenylbutane were prepared and characterized.The obtained dimanganese(IV) complex was rather stable to moisture in the solid state, but readily reduced to the corresponding dimanganese(III) complex in a methanol solution.The complexes can not be electrochemically formed as mixed valence states.
