Abstract

The reactions of the ligands N-methyldiethanol amine and N-ethyldiethanol amine (abbreviated H(2)mdea and H(2)edea, respectively) with [Mn(12)O(12)(O(2)CCH(3))(16)(H(2)O)(4)] yield novel dodecanuclear wheel-shaped products. The capability of the ligands H(2)mdea and H(2)edea to support wheel structures in metals other than Mn is demonstrated with the crystal structure of a new hexanuclear ferric wheel.
