title: Structural variation in cation-assisted assembly of high-nuclearity Mn arsonate and phosphonate wheels.
abstract: Comproportionation reactions between MnCl2 and KMnO4 in the presence of arsonate or phosphonate ligands promote the cation-assisted assembly of high-nuclearity, wheel-shaped or toroidal {Mn8} () and {Mn24} () complexes; the closely corresponding reaction systems provide insights into the complexation behaviour of homologous phosphonate/arsonate ligand species.
