title: Manganese clusters derived from 2-pyridylcyanoxime: new topologies and a large spin ground state in pyridyloximate chemistry.
abstract: Series of manganese clusters derived from 2-pyridylcyanoxime with Mn3(II) (1), Mn4(II) (2a, b), Mn(II)4Mn(III)4 (3), Mn(II)2Mn(III)6Mn(IV)2 (4) and Mn(II)3Mn(III)6Mn(IV) (5) cores have been characterized. Dc magnetic measurements reveal antiferromagnetic coupling for 1-4 and dominant ferromagnetic interactions for 5 which shows the largest ground state reported to date in pyridyloximate chemistry (S = 14).
