Tris{2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazapentanedienato}manganese(III), a complex derived from a unique metal ion-assisted transformation of pyridine-2-amidoxime

et al.A novel metal ion-mediated reaction of pyridine-2-amidoxime has led to a 1:3 mononuclear Mn(III) complex containing the 2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazapentanedienate(- 1) ligand; the high-spin MnIII in the complex is >EPR silent> at X-band.This research has been co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund-ESF) and Greek National Funds through the Operational Programme “Education and Lifelong Learning” of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) — Research Funding Programme: THALES.
