In an attempt to employ salicylic acid (HOsalH), 2,6-dihydroxy benzoic acid {(HO)2PhCO2H}, and naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylic acid {1,8-naph(CO2H)2} in Mn(III) salicylaldoximate chemistry as a means to alter the structural identity of the hexanucluear clusters usually obtained from this reaction system, we have isolated a family of hexanuclear Mn(III) complexes based on salicyladloxime (saoH2) and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde oxime (naphthsaoH2). Five hexanuclear clusters, [Mn6O2(sao)6(HOsal)2(EtOH)4]·EtOH (1·EtOH), [Mn6O2(sao)6{1,8-naph(CO2Me)(CO2)}2(MeOH)6]·3MeOH (2·3MeOH), [Mn6O2(naphthsao)6{1,8-naph(CO2Et)(CO2)}2(EtOH)6] (3·2MeOH), [Mn6O2(naphthsao)6(MeCO2)2(EtOH)4]·2H2O (4·2H2O), and [Mn6O2(naphthsao)6{(HO)2PhCO2}2(EtOH)4]·4EtOH (5·4EtOH), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The magnetic properties of 3, 4, and 5 are discussed.
