Complexes <b>1</b>−<b>3</b> consist of a triangle of manganese(III) ions with an oxido-center bridge and three ligands, phpzR<sup>2−</sup> (R = H, Me) that form a plane with the metal ions. All the complexes contain the same core with the general formula [Mn<sub>3</sub>(μ<sub>3</sub>-O)(phpzR)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>+</sup>. Methanol molecules and additional bridging ligands, that is, acetate (complexes <b>1</b> and <b>2</b>) and azide (complex <b>3</b>), are at the terminal positions. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility studies indicate the presence of predominant antiferromagnetic intramolecular interactions between manganese(III) ions in <b>1</b> and <b>3</b>, while both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic intramolecular interactions are operative in <b>2</b>. 2008-07-07 00:00:00 Trinuclear Manganese Clusters ligand metal ions antiferromagnetic intramolecular interactions hydroxyphenyl H 2phpzMe complexes 1 Mn Complexe susceptibility studies intramolecular interactions Building Blocks Ligand Influence Magnetic Properties H 2phpzH crystal structure terminal positions manganese
