Synthesis, structures, and magnetic behavior of two high-spin binuclear Fe(III) complexes

Diverse Molecular Architectures of Si and Sn [4.4.3.01,6]Tridecane Cages Derived from a Mannich Base Possessing Semi‐Rigid Unsymmetrical Podands

“…Generally, "atrane-like" cages are comprised of two bridgehead atoms (M and N) connected by identical or different podand arms containing 3 and/or 4 atoms. [18][19][20][21][22] The additional N-M bond provides better chelation to stabilize the transition-metal coordination sphere [17,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and/or main-group metal compounds. [35][36][37] In the past, several main-group compounds and transition-metal complexes containing "atrane-like" structures with unsymmetrical podands and their derivatives have been reported.…”

“…[35][36][37] In the past, several main-group compounds and transition-metal complexes containing "atrane-like" structures with unsymmetrical podands and their derivatives have been reported. [8,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] Organotin compounds have also attracted particular interest in crystal engineering for their intriguing topologies achieved through non-covalent intermolecular interactions and the selfassembly of molecules. The molecular topology can often be controlled and modulated by optimizing the coordination geometry of the central metal ions and the binding properties of the organic ligands.…”
