Neutral Supramolecular Cluster-Based Nanorods from Direct Assembly of Three Building Units
摘要
The reaction between (Me4N)4[Nb6Cl12(CN)6], [Mn(salen)Cl(H2O)] (salen = N, N’-bis (salicylidene)ethylenedi-amine dianion), and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)-ethylene (bpe) led to the formation of {[Mn(salen)(H2O)](bpe)[Mn(salen)]}2[Nb6Cl12(CN)6]⋅17H2O (1). 1 features assemblies of 4.47 nm-long molecular nanorods in each of which two [Mn(salen)]+ connects via one bpe linker to form a dimeric unit and two dimeric units are trans-coordinated to one [Nb6Cl12(CN)6]4−via cyanido. Its magnetic properties and thermal stability are also reported.
