The synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of [Mn(13)O(8)(OEt)6(O(2)CC(6)H(4)OPh)12] are reported as the first example of a high nuclearity manganese complex with 2-phenoxybenzoate: the complex possesses S6 symmetry and an S = 11/2 ground state.

An isophthalate-bearing DOTA monoamide derivative has been synthesised and used to prepare a family of lanthanide complexes. Luminescence and NMR studies in solution show that the predominant form of the complexes in solution is a mono-capped square antiprism about the lanthanide centre, in which a solvent molecule occupies the ninth coordination site. The crystal structure of the terbium complex is presented and is in close agreement with the solution state data.
