Abstract
Three new branched hexadentate amines (N(6)),
3,6-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-diamine (1),
3,7-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-3,7-diazanonane-1,9-diamine (2) and
3,8-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-3,8-diazadecane-1,10-diamine (3) have been
synthesized. Subsequently, three novel Schiff base macrocyclic complexes
containing a phenanthroline and two 2-pyridylmethyl pendant arms have
been prepared by template 1+1 cyclocondensation of
2,9-dicarboxaldehyde-1,10-phenanthroline and the branched hexadentate
amines (1-3), in the presence of Mn(II) in methanol. These complexes
have ligands with 18-, 19-and 20-membered hexaaza macrocycles and two
2-pyridylmethyl pendant arms (L(1), L(2) and L(3), respectively). All
the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis and IR
spectroscopy. The crystal structure of MnL(1)(ClO(4))(2) center dot
3CH(3)CN was determined and indicates that in the solid state the
complex adopts a slightly distorted hexagonal bipyramidal geometry with
the Mn(II) ion located within a hexaaza macrocycle with the two
2-pyridylmethyl pendant arms coordinating in axial positions. (C) 2009
