The synthesis and structural characterization of a manganese(II) compound with biological relevance

What is it about?

This publication describes the synthesis and crystal structure determination of a manganese(II) compound that has biological relevance. The compound involves a tripodal, tetradentate ligand and features a 7-coordinate manganese center with additional coordination by acetate and methanol ligands.

Why is it important?

The paper describes a new manganese(II) compound with a high coordination number and other unusual features such as asymmetric bidentate coordination of the acetate ligand. Further coordination of the manganese(II) ion by methanol suggests the possibility of an exchangeable site on the manganese(II) ion and therefor the potential for biological activity.
