RESUMEN
The solvothermal reaction of (HOCH2CH2)3N with [(n-C4H9)4N]3[H3V10O28] and MnCl2 x 4H2O in CH3CN and CH3OH yields a novel cationic heteropolyoxovanadium(IV) cluster, [Mn(II)V(IV)6O6[(OCH2CH2)2N(CH2CH2OH)]6]2+, containing a fully reduced new cyclic [MnV6N6O18] core with the Anderson structure.
RESUMEN
A novel series of fully reduced heteropolyoxovanadium(IV) compounds, [MVIV6O6[(OCH2CH2)2N(CH2CH2OH)]6]X (1, M = Li, X = Cl x LiCl; 2, M = Na, X = Cl x H2O; 3, M = Mg, X = 2Br x H2O; 4, M = Mn, X = 2Cl; 5, M = Fe, X = 2Cl; 6, M = Co, X = 2Cl x H2O; 7, M = Ni, X = 2Cl x H2O), have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis, manganometric titration, temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements, bond valence sum calculations, X-ray powder diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The structures of the crystals are comprised of discrete units of fully reduced cluster cations, [MVIV6O6[(OCH2CH2)2N(CH2CH2OH)]6]n+, counterions (chloride or bromide), and water of crystallization (in the case of 2, 3, 6, 7). In each case the cluster ion is composed of a fully reduced cyclic [MV6N6O18] (M = Li, Na, Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) framework decorated with six triethanolamine ligands. Two arms of each triethanolamine ligand are coordinated to the metallacycle, and the third arm projects outward from the hexagonal ring. The [MV6N6O18] core adopts the Anderson-type structure. The cyclic core is comprised of a ring of six edge-sharing [VO5N] octahedra linked to a central [MO6] unit. The hexametalate ring contains six d1 ions [VIV] and shows remarkable flexibility to encapsulate a variety of metal centers Mn+ (Mn+ = Li+, Na+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+) with different (dn) spins. The compounds show good thermal stability and exhibit interesting magnetic properties that make these magnetic clusters promising building blocks for constructing supramolecular structures and extended structure magnetic solids.
