Model Dimeric Manganese(IV) Complexes Featuring Terminal Tris-hydroxotetraazaadamantane and Various Bridging Ligands.

A series of model dinuclear manganese(IV) complexes of the general formula [(HCOH)(L')Mn(μ-L)Mn(L')(HOCH)] is presented. These compounds feature capping 4,6,10-trihydroxo-3,5,7-trimethyl-1,4,6,10-tetraazaadamantane ligands derived from a polydentate oxime compound (L'). The bridging ligands L include azide (), methoxide (), and oxalate () anions.
