Constructing "Closed" and "Open" {Mn₈} Clusters.

ABSTRACT: Use of the 1,3,5-tri(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane ligand, LH₃, in manganese chemistry affords access to two structurally related {Mn₈} clusters: a "closed" {Mn^III ₆Mn^II ₂} puckered square wheel of formula [Mn₈L₂(LH)O₃(OH)₂(MeO)₂Br(imH)(H₂O)₃](Br)₃ (1; imH = imidazole) and an "open" {Mn^III ₈} rod of formula [Mn^ΙΙΙ ₈L₂O₄(aibH)₂(aib)₂(MeO)₆(MeOH)₂](NO₃)₂ (2, aibH = 2-amino-isobutyric acid). In each case the triaza ligands, L/LH, direct the formation of {Mn₃} triangles with the
