Two new chain complexes consisting of a Mn(salen) building block bridged by O–Se–O units, [Mn2(salen)2(L)](ClO4) (1) and {[Mn(salen)]2(L)2}·Y (2) (salen =N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-ethylenediamine, L = 3,4,5-trifluorobenzeneseleninic acid, Y = salicylaldehyde) have been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically.
A mononuclear six-coordinate DyIII complex exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation provides a rare case for octahedral lanthanide complexes with SMM behavior.
Two new compounds composed of MnIII salen building blocks and organic selenite acid with ClO4− counter anions, namely [Mn2(salen)2(C6H5SeO2)](ClO4)(1) and [Mn2(salen)2(C6H4FSeO2)](ClO4)(2) [salen = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-ethylenediamine], were synthesized through a one-pot reaction and characterized structurally and magnetically.
