The reaction of N-n-Bu/sub 4/MnO/sub 4/ with appropriate reagents in nonaqueous solvents leads to the high-yield formation of trinuclear oxo-centered Mn complexes of general formulation (Mn/sub 3/O(O/sub 2/CR)/sub 6/L/sub 3/)/sup z+/ (1, R = Me, L = pry, z = 1; 2, R = Me, L = pyr, z = 0, monopyridine solvate; 3, R = Me, L = pyr, z = 0, unsolvated; 4, R = Ph, L/sub 3/ = (pyr)/sub 2/(H/sub 2/O), z = 0; 5, R = Me, L = HIm, z = 1; pyr = pyridine, HIm = imidazole). The crystal structures of complexes 2 and 4 have been determined. Complex 2 crystallizes in rhombohedral space group R32 with (at -50 /sub 0/C) a = b = 17.552 (6) A, c = 10.918 (3) A, ..gamma.. = 120.00 (1)/sup 0/, and Z = 3. A total of 1546 unique data with F > 3sigma(F) were refined to conventional values of R and R/sub w/ of 5.77 and 5.86%, respectively. Complex 4 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2/sub 1/ with (at -156 /sup 0/C) a = 15.058 (10) A, b = 23.600 (17) A, c = 14.959 (10) A, ..beta.. = 91.01 (3)/sup 0/, and Z = 2. Both 2 and 4 posses an oxo-centered Mn/sub 3/O unit characteristic of basic carboxylates with peripheral ligation provided by bridging carboxylate and terminal pyr (or H/sub 2/O) groups.
