Abstract

Trinuclear Ni(II), Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes have been prepared from the asymmetric compartmental proligands 2-alkyliminomethyl-4-methyl-6-{[methyl-(2- pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)-amino]-methyl}-phenol(alkyl=ethyl, n-propyl and n-butyl) and 2-[(2-methoxy-ethylimino)-methyl]-4-methyl-6-{[methyl-(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl)- amino]-methyl}-phenol, which provide adjacent tridentate N2O and bidentate NO donor sets. The crystal structures of [Ni3(L 6)2(OAc)2(NCS)2]·CH 3OH·H2O, [Co3(L4) 2(OAc)2(NCS)2], and [Mn3(L 7)2(OAc)2(NCS)2]·CH 3OH·H2O were determined and show that the metals provide an isosceles triangle with M1-M2=M 1-M3≈3.2 Å and M2-M3≈5.0 Å. The cryomagnetic properties of the complexes have been studied and indicate a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent, M 1M2 and M1M3 ions with little magnetic interaction between the terminal M2M3 ions.
