The chemistry of manganese(III) with monodentate carboxylates, such as acetate and benzoate or their derivatives, results in the formation of complexes with nuclearities of 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 18. The chemistry of polynuclear carboxylate complexes is too extensive to detail here and coverage is confined to a brief discussion of the structural types involved.

Ruthenium(III), d5 Ru111 is often associated with classical-type ligands, e.g. ammine, water, halides. They are octahedral low spin t2/ species with one unpaired electron and generally sub-stitutionally inert. The electronic structure of polynuclear carboxylates and mixed valence Ru" 1" complexes of the type [Ru(NH3)5]2L5+ has been the subject of much interest particularly with respect to the degree of unpaired electron delocalization within these molecules. 

Polynuclear Carboxylates with Two Bridging Modes Alternated... 

Polynuclear carboxylates with two bridging modes alternated form the largest family of rare earth polynuclear carboxylates. At least six bridging modes have been identified within this family. The three most often observed structure types with two bridging modes are the alternating double bidentate bridging and double tridentate bridging, referred as...
