The reaction of N-n-Bu4MnO4 with Mn(OAc)(2). 4H(2)O, pyridine and butyric a
cid in absolute EtOH leads to the high-yield formation of the oxo-centered
trinuclear Mn complex, [Mn3O(O2CC3H,(7))(6)(C5H5N)(3)]. ClO4. The complex c
rystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1) with a = 19.588(7), b = 20
.194(6), c = 12.491(5) Angstrom. Variable temperature solid state magnetic
susceptibility study shows that the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction
is weak, and the exchange integral J = -12.36 cm(-1). (C) 1999 Elsevier Sci
