A. Darovsky et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE ELECTRON-TRANSFER IN A (MNMNIII)-MN-II(MU-OH) MIXED-VALENCE MANGANESE, Inorganic chemistry, 35(24), 1996, pp. 6916
The observed metal-ligand bond lengths in the mixed-valence complex I)
(mu-OH)(mu-pivalonato)(2)-Mn(III)ttacn](ClO4)(2) show a significant te
mperature dependence in the 20-298 K range. Spectroscopic and crystall
ographic evidence indicates the temperature dependence to be due to a
superposition of two orientations with different energies in the cryst
al, which are interconverted by electron transfer between the metal ce
nters.
