Synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic property of a rarely seen μ1,1-OMe-bridged dimeric manganese(III) complex derived from 2-[1-(2-methylaminoethylimino)ethyl]phenol

A novel μ1,1-OMe-bridged dimeric manganese(III) complex with the tridentate Schiff base ligand 2-[1-(2-methylaminoethylimino)ethyl]phenolate has been prepared and structurally characterized. The magnetic property of the complex shows the presence of ferromagnetic interaction mediated by double methoxy bridges.
