R. Manchanda et al., IMPROVED SYNTHESES AND STRUCTURE OF N)(4)](CLO4)(3)CENTER-DOT-2CH3COOH-CENTER-DOT-2H2O, Inorganic chemistry, 33(22), 1994, pp. 5157-5160
We present two new-routes to synthesize [(MnMnIV)-Mn-III(O)(2)(phen)(4
)](ClO4)(3) (1, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). The crystal structure of
1 shows structurally distinct Mn ions with a Jahn-Teller distorted Mn-
III and an undistorted Mn-IV, indicating an electron-localized complex
; the 16-line EPR signal from 1 also shows that this is a trapped-vale
nces complex.
