U. Piarulli et al., DIACETONEGLUCOSE COMPLEXES OF MANGANESE(II) AND IRON(II) AND THEIR ORGANOMETALLIC DERIVATIZATION, Inorganic chemistry, 37(20), 1998, pp. 5142-5148
Homoleptic metal-sugar complexes were obtained in the form of Mn-II- a
nd Fe-II-diacetoneglucose derivatives. The protolysis of [Mn(3)Mes(6)]
and [Fe(2)Mes(4)] (Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) with DAGH 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopro
pylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose, diacetoneglucose) led to [M(DAG)(2)] [
M = Mn (1). Fe (2)]. Although monomeric in solution, they showed a dif
ferent degree of aggregation in the solid state, iron being monomeric
and manganese oligomeric (see magnetic properties). Dimeric complexes
from 1 and 2 were obtained in the reaction with 9,10-phenanthroline [p
hen], leading to [(phen)(2)M(mu-DAG)(2)M(DAG)(2)] [M = Mn (3), Fe (4)]
. The organometallic functionalization of I and 2 was achieved via a l
igand redistribution reaction mixing them with [Mn(3)Mes(6)] and [Fe(2
)Mes(4)], respectively. The reaction led to mixed alkoxo aryl trinucle
ar complexes in the form of [(Mes)(2)M-2(mu-DAG)(2)M-(mu-Mes)(2)] [M =
Mn (5), Fe (6)]. Both have a linear trimetallic skeleton with Mn ...
Mn and Fe ... Fe average distances of 2.93 and 2.88 Angstrom, respecti
vely. The crystal data are as follows: complex 5. C60H82Mn3O12, monocl
inic, space group P2(1), a = 10.289(5) Angstrom, b = 20.878(5) Angstro
m, c = 14.015(5) Angstrom, beta = 93.19(2)degrees, Z = 2: complex 6, C
60H82Fe3O12, monoclinic, space group P2(1). a = 9.748(12) Angstrom, b
= 26.05(3) Angstrom, c = 12.50(2) Angstrom, beta = 107.50(2)degrees, Z
= 2. The data were collected at -123 degrees C. For 5 and 6 the magne
tic analysis showed a strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the M(
II) centers, with spin frustration leading to an overall S = 5/2 and S
= 2 ground state, respectively.
