The mixed-valent (μ-nitrido)-dimanganese complex anion [(CN)5Mn(v)(μ- N)Mn(II)(CN)5]6-

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Localized valencies are displayed by the Mn(v)Mn(II) complex ion 1. This is the key finding from X-ray structure analysis, as well as vibrational and EPR spectroscopic investigations on 1 obtained by the reaction of manganese(II) and [Mn(v)(N)(CN)5]3- salts in aqueous 1M NaCN solution. Remarkably, the asymmetry is induced by the nitrogen atom bridge.
