Preparation and characterization of [Mn11O10Cl2(OAc)11(bpy)2(MeCN)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·8MeCN, a mixed-valence manganese(III/IV) aggregate with rare undecanuclearity (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl)

Abstract
Treatment of [Mn4O2(OAc)7(bpy)2](ClO4)·3H2O (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl)1 with Me3SiCl in MeCN leads to a disproportionation and nuclearity change to give [Mn11O10Cl2(OAc)11(bpy)2(MeCN)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·8MeCN 2; the crystal structure shows the core of this aggregate to comprise two [Mn4O3Cl]6+ cubane units ‘bridged’ by a nearly linear [Mn3O4]+ moiety.
