Abstract:
Two novel mixed-valent manganese (Mn(II)/Mn(III)) cluster compounds were synthesized in solvothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, bond valence sum calculations, IR spectra, elemental analysis, and magnetic measurements. Compound 1 is a Mn 19 cluster with a cylindrical core structure. Compound 2 possess a Mn 16 core where all of the manganese sites have unique ligation environments. The magnetic measurements on both compounds indicate dominant antiferromagnetic interactions between the metal centers.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
