Mixed Transition‐Metal—Lanthanide Complexes at Higher Oxidation States: Heteronuclear Ce^IV–Mn^IV Clusters

Abstract

High oxidation-state molecular compounds or polymeric oxides of Mn or Ce have a wide range of applications in diverse areas involving inorganic, organic, environmental, and industrial chemistry owing to their ability to oxidize both inorganic and organic substrates. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The high oxidation-state tetranuclear Mn cluster that is present near photosystem II of

Linear, Zigzag, and Helical Cerium(III) Coordination Polymers

“…At the same time, from a materials properties point of view, polynuclear cerium structures are motivated by their use in, for example, electroluminescence or corrosion inhibition . However, despite the seemingly flexible coordination chemistry, most of the known polynuclear cerium coordination compounds are heterometallic coordination clusters containing Ce IV /Mn III/IV − (including a single-molecule magnet), as well as trinuclear Ce III /Fe III , Ce III /Zn, Ce III /Co, or tetranuclear Mn III /Ce III and Ce III /Co II cores . Only a few homonuclear hexanuclear {Ce IV 6 O 8 } clusters are known so far, and only very recently we reported two giant Ce­(III/IV) clusters comprising {Ce 10 } and {Ce 22 } cores .…”

Template Synthesis and Single-Molecule Magnetism Properties of a Complex with Spin S = 16 and a [Mn8O8]8+ Saddle-Like Core

“…[Ce 6 in MeCN/Et 2 O that had stood for a long time. With the identity of 1 established, a rational synthesis was considered crucial.…”

Heptanuclear Disk‐Like MII3LnIII4 (M = Ni, Co) Coordination Clusters: Synthesis, Structures and Magnetic Properties

“…There are few examples of 3d/4f disk‐like CCs reported in the literature. The first reported examples demonstrating the disk‐like or 3,6M7‐1 topology were the Mn IV 6 Ce disks reported by Christou et al, These were followed by Cu II 6 Pr III , Mn II 3 Ln III 4 , Cu II 5 Ln III 2 , Co II 3 Dy III 4 , and Co II 2 Dy III 5 examples (Table ). The seven previous reported examples of 3d/4f 3,6M7‐1 CCs are shown (Table entries 1–7) and to the best of our knowledge ( 4 – 6 ) are the first examples of Ni II /Ln III CCs of this topology.…”
