Bis-tris propane as a new polydentate linker in the synthesis of iron(III) and manganese(II/III) complexes.
We describe the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of two new complexes, one decanuclear iron(III) cluster and one hexanuclear mixed-valence manganese(II/III) cluster, where the previously unexplored polydentate ligand Bis-tris propane {(CH2OH)3CNH(CH2)3NHC(CH2OH)3} is used to link small cluster fragments into high-nuclearity complexes.
