‘Metal Complexes as Ligands’ for the Synthesis of Coordination Polymers: A MnIII Monomer as a Building Block for the Preparation of an Unprecedented 1-D {MnIIMnIII}n Linear Chain
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A relatively unexplored synthetic route in redox-active Mn(II/III) coordination chemistry has been employed toward the preparation of a new mixed-valence MnII/III 1-D linear chain from the reaction of [MnIII(sacb)2]− precursor with a MnII source, where sacbH2 is the Schiff base ligand N-salicylidene-2-amino-5-chlorobenzoic acid. The mononuclear (Pr2NH2)[MnIII(sacb)2] (1) compound was obtained in excellent yields (>85%) from the 1:2:3 reaction of Mn(O2CMe)2∙4H2O, sacbH2 and Pr2NH, respectively. In 1, the two doubly deprotonated sacb2− ligands act as Ocarboxylate,Nimine,Ophenoxide-tridentate chelates, while the second carboxylate O atom of sacb2− is dangling and H-bonded to the Pr2NH2+ countercation. Complex 1 was subsequently used as a ‘ligand’ to react stoichiometrically with the ‘metal’ Mn(NO3)2∙4H2O, thus leading to the 1-D coordination polymer {[MnIIMnIII(sacb)2(H2O)2(MeOH)2](NO3)}n (2) in good yields (~50%). The removal of Pr2NH2+ from the vicinity of the [MnIII(sacb)2]− metalloligand has rendered possible (vide infra) the coordination of the second Ocarboxylate of sacb2− to neighboring {MnII(H2O)2(MeOH)2}2+ units, and consequently the formation of the 1-D polymer 2. Direct-current (dc) magnetic susceptibility studies revealed the presence of very weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between alternating MnIII and MnII atoms with a coupling constant of J = −0.08 cm−1 for g = 2.00. The combined results demonstrate the potential of the ‘metal complexes as ligands’ approach to yield new mixed-valence Mn(II/III) coordination polymers with interesting structural motifs and physicochemical properties.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
