Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a one-dimensional Mn(III) Schiff-base complex bridged by derivative of tetracyano-p-quinodimethane

摘要

A new one-dimensional manganese(III) Schiff-base complex [Mn(III)(salophen) (MeOTCNQ)] _ CH_3CN 1 (salophen = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)phenylenediamine) bridged by 7-methoxy-7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-p_quinodimethane (MeOTCNQ), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and mag_netic studies. Crystal structure study reveals that complex 1 has a 1D manganese(III) chain bridged by MeOTCNQ ligand which was obtained unexpectedly from tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ) reacting with methanol. Noticeably, MeOTCNQ molecules in complex 1 adopt an unusual cis-syn coordination mode. The analysis of magnetic data indicates that a weak intrachain antiferromagnetic interaction exists in complex 1.
