Abstract

New synthetic approach for the preparation of heterometallic β-diketonates has been developed. Three manganese-containing diketonates, InMn(hfac)3 (1), CdMn2(hfac)6 (2), and Hg 2Mn2(hfac)6 (3), have been isolated in quantitative yields by employing the solid state redox reaction of Mn(hfac) 3 with transition and main group metals. The heterometallic molecules are built on Lewis acid-base interactions between diketonate oxygens of the [Mn(hfac)3]- groups and "naked" metal centers that appear in the form of In+, Cd2+, and Hg 2 2+ cations. Compounds 1-3 have been shown to retain a heterometallic structure upon sublimation-deposition procedure as well as in solutions of non-coordinating solvents.
