“…For example, only five Co(II/III)-Pr(III) complexes, i.e., [Pr 4 Co 4 (μ 3 -OR 5 ) 2 (μ 3 -OH) 2 (μ-OR 5 ) 2 (μ-piv) 8 (μ-N 3 ) 2 (NO 3 ) 2 ] (piv = pivalato), [PrCo(μ-OAr) 2 (H 2 O) 2 (NO 3 ) 4 ] (ArO = 3-methoxy-2-oxo-benzaldehyde), [Pr 2 Co 3 (cmipa) 4 (H 2 O) 10 ] (cmipa = 4-(carboxylatomethoxy)isophthalato), [Pr 2 Co 5 (μ 3 -OAr) 4 (μ 3 -OH) 4 (μ-ac) 2 (HNAr) 2 (NO 3 ) 6 (MeCN) 4 ] (ac = acetato, ArO = 6-chloropyridin-2-olato, HNAr = 6-chloropyridin-2-onato), and [PrCo(μ-ac) 2 (μ-L)(NO 3 ) 2 ] (L = 2,2′-(propane-1,2-diylbis((nitrilo)methylylidene))bis(6-(methoxy)phenolato)) have been reported . A group of Ni(II)-Pr(III) compounds consisting of 21 heterometallic clusters, which are mainly based on Schiff base, − salen, − and other phenolate ligands, has been reported. − A large family of Mn(II/III)-Ln(III) heterometallic clusters dominated by heteroleptic Schiff, Mannich base-carboxylate, and nitrate derivatives has also been reported. − Another group of Mn(II/III)-Ln(III) compounds consisting of various alkoxide-carboxylate-nitrate derivatives has been reported, i.e., [Ln 4 Mn 8 (μ 3 -O) 8 (hmp) 4 (benz) 12 (NO 3 ) 4 (benzH)(EtOH)] (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy; and benz = benzoate), [Ln 2 Mn 4 (μ 4 -O) 2 (H 2 edte) 2 (piv/benz) 8‑ x (NO 3 ) x ] (H 2 edte = N , N , N ′, N ′-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine); (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Y, and x = 0, 2) . The presence of NO 3 – or RCOO – ligands in the lanthanide coordination sphere arose from the synthesis method applied, which involved the use of Mn(OOCR) 2 and Ln(NO) 3 as regents and amines to deprotonate the phenolic ligands.…”
