Lq. Yang et al., BINUCLEAR COMPLEXES OF CHROMIUM, MANGANESE AND RHODIUM WITH HYL-N,N',N'-TRIBENZIMIDAZOLYLMETHYLETHYLENEDIAMINE, Transition metal chemistry, 20(3), 1995, pp. 273-275
Three novel binuclear complexes, Cr(2)Cl(6)L . EtOH, Mn(2)OAc(4)L . Et
OH, Rh(2)Cl(6)L.2H(2)O, where l-N,N',N'-tribenzimidazolylmethylethylen
e-diamine, have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses,
i.r., u.v.-vis. and e.s.r. spectra, and by magnetic susceptibility me
asurements. A weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction exists
between the metal ions in a binuclear unit for the dimanganese complex
. Preliminary bioassays show that the manganese complex possesses anti
tumour activity in vitro.
