(NBu4)[Mn402(H20)(02CPh)9], a ButterflyComplex with Bound H20, and Its Use toPrepare Octanuclear and Undecanuclear MetalComplexes **By Sheyi Wang, John C. Huffman, Kirsten Folting,William E. Streib, Emil B. Lobkovsky, and George Chris/oll *
Manganese chemistry at the higher metal oxidation states(:2:11) is currently an area of great activity. One reason forthis is the occurrence of Mn in biological systems,[l] particularly the Mn4 aggregate in the photosynthetic water oxidation center (WOC).[ZI To model the WOC, we have preparedcomplexes of formulation [Mn~102(OzCR)x(L-L)2Y (x = 6or 7; L-L = a chelate ligand; z = -1, 0, + 1) possessing the[Mn4(J13-0)2J8+ core with a butterfly disposition of Mn
atoms.131 Higher nuclearity Mny aggregates (y :2: 6) have alsobeen attracting increasing interest, not least for their aesthetic qualities.l4- 81 More importantly, however, these aggregates have displayed a propensity for large spin groundstates.l4c, 8b,d] Only a limited number of higher nuclearityMn aggregates are currently known, including various struc-

tural types and oxidation levels;14- 81we have pointed outelsewhere the potential utility of discrete Mn aggregates withlarge spin ground states as precursors to molecular ferromagnets.[8bl We herein describe results of relevance to boththe above areas: namely, the preparation of an Mn40Z complex with a bound HzO ligand, and its employment as astepping-stone to new Mns and NazMn9 aggregates.
,The comproportionation between [Mn(OzCPh)2J . 2 H20and NBu4Mn04 (Bu = nBu) in an approximate 2.5:1ratio in EtOH/MeCN yields dark red crystals of(NBu4)[Mn40z(HzO)(OzCPh)gJ (I) in 90-95 % yield afterrecrystallization.[9] The structure[lO] of the anion of I(Fig. 1) shows a butterfly [Mn~102J8+ core similar tothat in, for example, [Mn402(OzCMeMbpY)zJ + and[Mn40z(OzCMeMpichr (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; pic- = 2picolinate),l3] However, the absence of chelating bpy or pichas interesting consequences; Mn4 possesses instead anadditional benzoate group in a rare asymmetrical chelatingmode, where Mn4-024 (2.373(11) A) is much longer thanMn4-022 (1.947(11) A). There is also an additional benzoate group at Mn3 but this is ligated in a monodentatefashion; the remaining site is occupied by a terminal aqualigand (018), which is hydrogen-bonded to the unligatedbenzoate atom 025 (018 ... 025, 2.634(24) A).

Complex 1 represents important progress for our WOCmodeling work since it possesses a water-binding site. Theligation of H20 and its hydrogen bonding to a carboxylategroup may be providing a glimpse into how the WOC bindsits substrate HzO and activates it to deprotonation, a necessary step in water oxidation. We are, therefore, studying thereactivity of 1. Initial efforts have unearthed unusual products from the reactions with benzoyJ peroxide and Me3SiCI.
Attempted oxidation of I with equimolar amounts of (PhCO)zOz in MeCN causes a darkening of color and crystallization of [Na2Mn90i02CPh)ls(MeCN)zJ . 3 MeCN (2' 3MeCN) in 31 % yield after addition of NaCI04.[ll] Thestructure[lZI of 2 (Fig. 2) comprises a mixed-metal undecanuclear [NazMng07ps+ core peripherally ligated by benzoate and MeCN groups; the two Na + ions are linked to theMn atoms by both core oxide and benzoate bridges.

prefer a mixed-metal aggregate description to an ion-pairingdescription. The Mn atoms are all in the +III oxidation stateas evidenced by interatomic distances and Jahn- Teller elongations; the Mng portion of 2 is similar to that observed in[MngOiOzCPh)13(Py)z].[6bl It consists of two [Mn40Z]8+
units (Mn(l ,2,4,7) and Mn(2,3,5,6)) which share the squarepyramidal Mn2 atom and are capped by MnS and Mn9through Jl3,oxides 014, 015, and 016. The complex hasidealized Cz symmetry. There were no changes in the metal'soxidation state in the conversion of 1 into 2, so the precisefunction of the (PhCO)zOz is unclear; however, the yield of2 is only 31 % and the presence of other products in thereaction filtrate is under investigation. The influence of experimental conditions on the reaction of 1 with (PhCO)20zis also being studied.
Carboxylate abstraction from complex 1 with 4 equiv ofMe3SiCl in CHzCI2, followed by addition of EtzO to the
red-brown solution, produces a dark red precipitate. Recrystallization from CH2CI2/Et20 yields dark red crystals of theoctanuclear Mntll complex (NBu4)[Mns06CI6(OzCPhk(HzO)z]'xCH2Clz (3, Bu = nBu, 45-60 % yield).[t31 Thestructure[141 of the anion of 3 (Fig. 3) consists of an[Mns06C14]8 + core coordinated on its periphery to bridgingPhCO 2", terminal Cl-, and terminal H20 ligands. As in 2,
the [Mng06Cl4]8 + core may again be conveniently consid,ered to be constructed from the fusion of two [Mn40Z]8 +
butterfly units (Mn(1 ,2,4,7) and Mn(2,3,5,6)) sharing Mn2;this time there is only one capping Mn atom (MnS) connected through 013 and 014. Moreover, the core now containsbridging CI- atoms. The core would possess C2v symmetryand a Cz axis passing through Mn2, the midpoint of the013 ... 014 vector, and MnS, except that the MnS lies off theC2 axis to form a bond to C115. This converts Cl15 into anunusual example of a Jl4-Cl atom, bridging a nearly planar

Mn4 unit. Another unusual structural feature is to be foundat Mn2. The core structure as described above designatesMn2 as five-coordinate with square-pyramidal geometry asseen for Mn2 in complex 2. It is clear, however, that Mn2 has
two additional bonds to 013 and 014; these are long (average 2.656 A) but they are real because Mn2 lies approximately in the plane containing 09-012(150) and not below it, asexpected for sp geometry and seen in 2, and because 013 and014 are approximately trigonal planar, whereas the otherbridging oxides are pyramidal. Indeed, 013 and 014 lieslightly out of their M n3 planes towards Mn2. [15b) Thus,Mn2 is best described as seven-coordinate, and 013 and 014as four-coordinate trigonal pyramidal.
Very unusually for higher nuclearity Mn aggregates, complex 3 supports reversible redox processes. Shown in Figure4 is the cyclic voltammogram in CH2Cl2. Both a reduction
the reduction is much more facile. Attempts to generate andisolate both the neutral and dianionic forms are currently inprogress; it will be interesting to determine the site of oxidation/reduction and any resulting structural perturbations.
In summary, the preparation of complex 1 is both important for continuing WOC modeling efforts and provides anew, easily prepared, and convenient starting point for thepreparation of the new higher nuclearity Mn aggregates 2and 3.
