Two enantiomeric Schiff base ligands R-/S-H2L in situ generated from the condensation of o-vanillin with R- or S-2-phenylglycinol were applied to assemble chiral multinuclear transition metal magnetic clusters for the first time. Four new enantiomerically pure chiral clusters, [NaMn4(3-O)(N3)1.75Br0.25(R-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2][NaMn4(mu3-O)(N3)2(R-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2]Br4 (1R), [NaMn4(mu3-O)(N3)1.75Br0.25(S-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2][NaMn4(mu3-O)(N3)2(S-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2]Br4 (1S), [Cu6(R-L)2(R-HL)2(N3)5(MeOH)]NO3.2MeOH.H2O (2R) and [Cu6(S-L)2(S-HL)2(N3)5(MeOH)]NO3.2MeOH.H2O (2S), have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography and CD spectroscopy. Three Mn(III) in the MnIIMnIII3 clusters of 1R and 1S are joined together through the 3-O bridge to form an oxo-centered Mn3O unit. Three L2- link four manganese atoms via the mu2-O,N,O-bridging manner into a MnIIMnIII3 cluster in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Enantiomeric 2S and 2R are hexanuclear copper(II) clusters composed of a cubane-like Cu4L4 part with a dinuclear Cu2(N3)2 unit capped on one of the faces of the Cu4L4 cubane via the mu1,1-azide and phenolate bridges from the chiral ligands. Magnetic analysis reveals intracluster antiferromagnetic interaction between adjacent manganese ions in chiral oxo-centered MnIIMnIII3 magnetic clusters for 1R and 1S, and dominating antiferromagnetic over weak ferromagnetic interactions in Cu6 clusters in 2R and 2S.
两种对映体希夫碱配体 R-/S-H2L 是由邻香草醛与 R-或 S-2-苯甘醇缩合原位生成的,它们首次被应用于组装手性多核过渡金属磁团簇。四个新的对映纯手性簇合物,[NaMn4(3-O)(N3)1.75Br0.25(R-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2][NaMn4(mu3-O)(N3)2(R-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2]Br4(1R)、[NaMn4(mu3-O)(N3)1.75Br0.25(S-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2][NaMn4(mu3-O)(N3)2(S-L)3(MeOH)2(H2O)2]Br4(1S)、[Cu6(R-L)2(R-HL)2(N3)5(MeOH)]NO3.2MeOH.H2O(2R)和[Cu6(S-L)2(S-HL)2(N3)5(MeOH)]NO3.2MeOH.H2O(2S),已通过单晶 X 射线晶体学和 CD 光谱学进行了合成和表征。在 1R 和 1S 的 MnIIMnIII3 团簇中,三个 Mn(III) 通过 3-O 桥连接在一起,形成一个以氧为中心的 Mn3O 单元。三个 L2- 通过 μ2-O、N、O 桥将四个锰原子连接成一个扭曲四面体几何形状的 MnIIMnIII3 团簇。对映体 2S 和 2R 是由一个立方烷状 Cu4L4 部分组成的六核铜(II)簇,通过手性配体上的 μ1,1-叠氮和苯氧桥,将一个双核 Cu2(N3)2 单元封闭在 Cu4L4 立方烷的一个面上。磁性分析表明,在对映体氧为中心的 MnIIMnIII3 磁性簇合物中,相邻锰离子之间存在着内簇反铁磁相互作用,而在 2R 和 2S 的 Cu6 簇中,反铁磁相互作用占主导地位,弱铁磁相互作用较弱。
