title: Largest mixed transition metal/actinide cluster: a bimetallic Mn/Th complex with a [Mn10Th6O22(OH)2]18+ core.
abstract: A high-nuclearity mixed transition metal/actinide complex has been prepared from the reaction of a Mn(III)4 complex with Th(NO3)4 in MeCN/MeOH. The complex [Th6Mn10O22(OH)2(O2CPh)16(NO3)2-(H2O)8] is the largest such complex to date and the first Th/Mn species. It is rich in oxide groups, which stabilize all of the metals in the high Th(IV) and Mn(IV) oxidation levels. Magnetic characterization establishes that the complex has an S = 3 ground-state spin value.
