(SP-4-1)-Bis{aqua[(1R,2R)-N,N'-bis(salicylidene)cyclohexane-1,2-diyldiamine-⁴O,N,N',O']manganese(III)}-di--cyano-⁴N:C-[dicyanonickel(II)]

Abstract: The title compound, [Mn₂Ni(C₂₀H₂₀N₂O₂)₂(CN)₄(H₂O)₂], is the first chiral trinuclear complex having an Mn^III-NC-Ni^II-CN-Mn^III unit. A pair of the trans sites of [Ni(CN)₄]^2- links two Mn^III units. The Mn^III ion has a pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry with the four donor atoms of the tetradentate chiral Schiff base forming the equatorial plane, and with a bridging cyanide and an aqua ligand at the axial positions.
