Structural and Magnetic Properties of Dimeric Capsule Assemblies Formed by Cyclic Trinuclear Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic trinuclear homo-metal complexes, [{Fe(L³⁺²Br)py}₃] (1) and [{Mn(L³⁺²Br)}₃(py)₂ MeOH] (2), along with a hetero-metal complex, [FeMn₂(L³⁺²H)₃(DMF)₃] (3), were synthesized using asymmetric ditopic ligands (H₃L³⁺²H: 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-ol-5-(salicylideneamino)benzoxazole, H₃L³⁺²Br: 2-(2-hydrox-5-bromoyphenyl)-6-ol-5-(5-bromosalicylideneamino)benzoxazole). The molecular structure of 1 is characterized by a tripod structure with three-fold symmetry, where an enantiomer pair forms a dimeric capsule with dimensions of approximately 3 × 1.6 × 1.6 nm³. Complexes 2 and 3, which lack three-fold symme
