Description:
The syntheses and crystal structures for the compounds tetra-μ-aqua-tetrakis{2-[azanidylene(oxido)methyl]phenolato}tetrakis(μ2-3-hydroxybenzoato)dysprosium(III)tetramanganese(III)sodium(I) N,N-dimethylacetamide decasolvate, [DyMn4Na(C7H5O3)4(C7H4NO2)4(H2O)4]·10C4H9NO or [DyIIINa(4-OHben)4{12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4}(H2O)4]·10DMA, 1, and tetra-μ-aqua-tetrakis{2-[azanidylene(oxido)methyl]phenolato}tetrakis(μ2-3-hydroxybenzoato)dysprosium(III)tetramanganese(III)sodium(I) N,N-dimethylformamide tetrasolvate, [DyMn4Na(C7H5O3)4(C7H4NO2)4(H2O)4]·4C3H7NO or [DyIIINa(3-OHben)4{12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4}(H2O)4]·4DMF, 2, and where MC is metallacrown, shi3− is salicylhydroximate, 3-OHben is 3-hydroxybenzoate, DMA is N,N-dimethylacetamide, 4-OHben is 4-hydroxybenzoate, and DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide, are reported. For both 1 and 2, the macrocyclic metallacrown consists of an [MnIII—N—O] ring repeat unit, and the domed metallacrown captures two ions in the central cavity: a DyIII ion on the convex side of the metallacrown and an Na+ ion the concave side. The MnIII ions are six-coordinate with an elongated tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry. Both the DyIII and Na+ ions are eight-coordinate. The DyIII ions possess a square-antiprismatic geometry, while the Na+ ions have a distorted biaugmented trigonal–prismatic geometry. Four 3-hydroxybenzoate or 4-hydroxybenzoate ligands bridge each MnIII ion to the central DyIII ion. For 1, whole-molecule disorder is observed for the main molecule, excluding only the DyIII and Na+ ions, and the occupancy ratio refined to 0.8018 (14):0.1982 (14). Three DMA molecules were refined as disordered with two in general positions by an approximate 180° rotation and the third disordered twice by general disorder as well as by an exact 180° rotation about a twofold axis that bisects it. The occupancy ratios refined to 0.496 (8):0.504 (8), 0.608 (9):0.392 (9), and 2×0.275 (7):2×0.225 (7), respectively. For 2, segments of the metallacrown are disordered including the DyIII ion, one of the Mn ions, two of the Mn-bound 4-hydroxybenzoate ligands, the Mn-bridging salicylhydroximate ligand, and portions of the remaining three shi3− ligands. The occupancy ratio for the metallacrown disorder refined to 0.849 (9):0.151 (9). Two DMF solvent molecules are also disordered, each over two orientations. The disorder ratios refined to 0.64 (3):0.36 (3) and to 0.51 (2):0.49 (2), respectively. For 2, the crystal under investigation was refined as a non-merohedric twin by a 90° rotation around the real a axis [twin ratio 0.9182 (8):0.0818 (8)].
