The unusual planar manganese(III)‐sulfur complex [Mn(S2C6H3Me)2]−1 is formed on reaction of MnCl2·4H2O with toluene‐3,4‐dithiolate in methanol in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. A further product is the square‐pyramidal complex containing an additional apical MeOH group. Reaction under anaerobic conditions leads to formation of the manganese(II)‐sulfur complex [Mn(S2C6H3Me)2]2−, which differs from 1 through its strongly distorted tetrahedral coordination.
Der ungewöhnliche planare Mangan (III)‐Schwefel‐Komplex [Mn(S2C6H3Me)2]‐ 1 bildet sich bei der Umsetzung von MnCl2·4H2O mit Toluol‐3,4‐dithiolat in Methanol in Gegenwart von Luftsauerstoff. Außerdem entsteht der quadratisch‐pyramidale Komplex mit zusätzlicher apicaler meOH‐Gruppe. Unter anaeroben Bedingungen erhält man den Mangan(II)‐Schwefel‐Komplex [Mn(S2C6H3Me)2]2−, der sich von 1 durch stark verzerrte tetraedrische Koordination unterscheidet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
