The title dodeca­nuclear Mn complex, namely dodeca-μ2-acetato-κ24O:O′-tetra­aqua­tetra-μ2-nitrato-κ8O:O′-tetra-μ4-oxido-octa-μ3-oxido-tetra­manganese(IV)octa­manganese(III) nitro­methane tetra­solvate, [Mn12(CH3COO)12(NO3)4O12(H2O)4]·4CH3NO2, was synthesized by the reaction of Mn2+ and Ce4+ sources in nitro­methane with an excess of acetic acid. This compound is distinct from the previously known single-mol­ecule magnet [Mn12O12(O2CMe)16(H2O)4], synthesized by Lis [Acta Cryst. (1980), B36, 2042–2044]. It is the first Mn12-type mol­ecule containing nitrate ligands to be directly synthesized without the use of a preformed cluster. Additionally, this mol­ecule is distinct from all other known Mn12 complexes due to inter­molecular hydrogen bonds between the nitrate and water ligands, which give rise to a three-dimensional network. The complex is compared to other known Mn12 mol­ecules in terms of its structural parameters and symmetry.

Introduction top

The original `Mn12' molecule was first synthesized in 1980 and has garnered much inter­est in the scientific community, especially in the field of single-molecule magnets (SMMs; Lis, 1980). Herein, the term `Mn12' will be used to describe all structures containing a core similar to the molecule synthesized by Lis, which contains four MnIV ions surrounded by a ring of eight MnIII ions bridged by 12 oxide (O2-) ions. SMMs are molecules that behave as molecular supra­paramagnets below a certain blocking temperature, TB, and exhibit slow magnetic relaxation, and consequently magnetic hysteresis (Bagai & Christou, 2009). The SMM properties in manganese complexes arise from the combination of a large ground-state spin, S, due to the ferromagnetic coupling of MnIII ions and large negative anisotropy, D, which arises from the Jahn–Teller distortion of the MnIII ions. Many studies have focused on changing the carboxyl­ate R groups of the complex to see their effect on the structural and magnetic properties (Sessoli et al., 1993). Herein, the structure of a new Mn12 molecule containing 12 acetate ligands, four water ligands, and four nitrate ligands is presented. This complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Experimental top

Synthesis and crystallization top

The title Mn12 complex was synthesized using an excess of acetic acid, manganese(II) acetate, and cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate in 20:8:4 ratio in a 20 ml solution of warm nitro­methane. The solution was filtered and the filtrate left undisturbed for 3 d, during which time brown crystals of the title complex formed in approximately 40% yield. The identity of the complex was also confirmed by IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, which were both in good agreement with the crystal structure analysis.

Refinement top

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 1. The Mn12 cluster is located on a 4 symmetry element at (0.5, 0.25, 0.375). Consequently, a quarter of the Mn12 cluster exists in the asymmetric unit, along with a nitro­methane solvent molecule. The latter has the nitro group disordered and was refined in two parts with their site-occupation factors dependently refined to values of 0.526 (5) and 0.474 (5). All methyl H atoms were allowed to rotate around the vicinal C—C bonds and to ride, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C). Water atoms H13A and H13B were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely.

Results and discussion top

Many derivatives of the Mn12 molecule have been synthesized with different bridging groups, including benzoate (Sessoli et al., 1993), and its derivatives (Aubin et al., 1999), tert-butyl acetate (Sun et al., 1998), pivalate, phosphinate (Brockman et al., 2003), sulfonate (Chakov et al., 2003), and di­chloro­acetate (Eppley & Christou, 2002), to name a few. These molecules have all retained similar properties in terms of magnetic character, but have crystallized in a wide variety of symmetries and space groups. There are four main types of symmetry that can be considered when classifying these Mn12 molecules, i.e. S4, D2, C2, and C1 (Bagai & Christou, 2007). The title compound crystallizes in the tetra­gonal crystal system and has S4 symmetry similar to the original Mn12 sythesized by Lis (1980).

Further experiments to study Mn12 have included changing the environment of these Mn12 moieties to include partial ligand substitution where the equatorial and axial ligands are different (Soler, Artus et al., 2001; OR Soler, Chandra et al., 2001), single (Tasiopoulos et al., 2004) or multiple reductions of the MnIII ions in the outer shell of the core (Soler, Artus et al., 2001; OR Soler, Chandra et al., 2001), and attempts to add nitrates to a preformed Mn12 cluster using nitric acid (Artus et al., 2001). Inclusion of nitrate ligands in such a structure has proven difficult resulting in low synthetic yield, likely due to the weak nature of the nitrate ligand compared to carboxyl­ates and other bridging ligands. The title material, however, contains nitrate ligands and crystallizes from a facile procedure.

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version ???; Groom & Allen, 2014) for similar structures yielded only two similar complexes, namely the original [Mn12O12(O2CMe)16(H2O)4] (Lis, 1980) and [Mn12O12(O2CCH2tBu)12(NO3)4(H2O)4] (Artus et al., 2001). Many other Mn12 derivatives exist, and most can be found in a review article by Bagai & Christou (2009).

Similar to other Mn12 complexes, the title molecule, (I), contains a roughly cubic core of four MnIV ions and four µ4-O2- ions centered in a ring of eight MnIII ions bound by eight µ3-O2- bridges, as shown in Fig. 1 and 2. The oxidation states of the Mn atoms were determined by bond-length considerations (Table 2), and the observation of Jahn–Teller elongation axes in the MnIII ions. Atoms Mn1 and Mn2 were both assigned as MnIII and Mn3 was assigned as an MnIV ion, as shown in Fig. 2. The periphery surrounding the core is completed by 12 acetate ligands, four aqua ligands, and four nitrate ligands. As expected, all Mn centers are six-coordinate and all of the acetate and nitrate ligands bridge pairs of Mn centers in a µ2-κO:κO' fashion.

Similar to other Mn12 derivatives, the title molecule is highly symmetric. However, unlike any other Mn12 molecule, it contains both inter- and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds (Table 3). On the molecular level, water atom H13A inter­acts with atoms O11 and O12 of the neighboring nitrate ligand. The extended structure exhibits hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between water atom H13B and nitrate atom O12iv of a neighboring molecule, as shown in Fig. 3 [symmetry code: (iv) -y+3/4, x+1/4, z+1/4].

The three-dimensional network mediated by O—H···O hydrogen bonds between the water ligand on one molecule and the nitrate ligand on a neighboring molecule distinguishes this system from any other Mn12 derivative. To our knowledge, this is the first linked network of Mn12 molecules despite the many derivatives previously synthesized (Bagai & Christou, 2009). This type of network, in addition to being structurally fascinating, promises other inter­esting physical properties including higher-level magnetic ordering in the solid state and unique solution dynamics resulting from the labile ligand sphere.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93/1.00 Å) and allowed to ride with Uiso(H)= 1.2/1.5Ueq(C). Methyl H atoms were allowed to rotate around the corresponding C—C.

The water ligand protons were obtained from a difference Fourier map and refined freely.

The Mn12 cluster methyl protons were refined using AFIX 137 in the least-squares refinement, while the solvent disordered methyl protons were constrained to the calculated positions using AFIX 33. The disorder of the methyl protons is a direct result of the disorder in the NO2 group which was refined in two parts with their site occupation factors dependently refined.
