Phenol-pyrazole ligands in the design of manganese(III) compounds : synthesis, structural characterization and study of the magnetic properties

Abstract

In this thesis project, new manganese(III) compounds containing phenol-pyrazole ligands are presented. Small variations on the phenol-pyrazole ligand have been performed to investigate the role of the ligand in the formation of new complexes. The reaction conditions are also crucial to determine the nuclearity of the obtained compounds, which range from mononuclear to octanuclear compounds. Additionally, the magnetic properties of the synthesized compounds were studied. Magneto-structural correlations are presented to assess the important structural features for tuning the magnetic properties
