The preparation and characterization of [Mn[sup IV] (salpn) ([mu]-OH)][sub 2],(CF[sub 3]SO[sub 3])[sub 2], 1H[sub 2](CF[sub 3]SO[sub 3])[sub 2], the first bis(hydroxo)-bridged manganese(IV) dimer, is reported. Along with the previously reported complexes [Mn[sup IV] (salpn)([mu]-O)][sub 2], 1, and [Mn[sup IV] (salpn)][sub 2]([mu]-O) ([mu]-OH) (CF[sub 3]SO[sub 3]), this provides the first series of oxo-bridged manganese complexes which are isolated in three different protonation states of the bridges without a change in the other ligands or the manganese oxidation state. The effects of oxo bridge protonations on the structure and magnetism of these Mn(IV) dimers are studied using this series of complexes. Each successive protonation of the oxo bridges results in a 2200 cm[sup [minus]1] decrease in the energy of the lowest energy (presumably, phenolate-to-manganese) charge transfer transition, a lengthening of the Mn-Mn distance, and a dramatic decrease in the antiferromagnetic coupling, without a significant change in the manganese X-ray absorption edge energies. The edge energies are all within 0.3 eV of each other, at ca. 6553 eV. The extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectra indicate that the Mn-Mn distance increases from 2.73 angstroms for 1 to 2.83 and 2.93 angstroms with successive protonations. 34 refs., 5 figs., 3 tabs.
