Transmetalated synthesis of homodinuclear MnII and CoII complexes containing Robson type macrocyclic ligands: crystal structure, magnetic investigation and DFT calculations

This work presents the syntheses (through aerobic transmetalation reactions), crystal structures, magnetic properties and density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations of a dimanganese(II) compound, [MnII 2 L1 Cl2 ] (1), and a dicobalt(II) compound, [CoII 2 L2 (CH3 OH)(H2 O)(Cl)](NO3 )...
