Lowering Coordination Symmetry as a Strategy for Tuning Slow Magnetic Relaxation in Quasi-Isotropic Mn(II) Systems

Abstract Two pentacoordinate Mn(II) complexes containing tridentate 2.2′-[oxybis(methylene)] bis(1H-1,3-benzimidazole) (OMeBB) ligand and pseudohalide coligands, [Mn(OMeBB)(NCS)2] (1) and [Mn(OMeBB)(NCO)2] (2), exhibit a very rare {MnIIN4O} coordination mode involving semicoordin...
