Supramolecular Mn(III) Coordination Polymer with Treatment Activity on Diabetic Retinopathy

A new Mn(III) coordination polymer formulated as [Mn2(L)2Cl2(DMF)2]n (1, H2L is 2,2′-bipyridyl-6,6′-dicarboxylic acid; DMF is N,N′-dimethylformamide) was solvothermally prepared using Mn(ClO4)2 · 6H2O, H2L, and (CH3)4NCl as raw materials. The assay of SCXRD for 1 suggests that it features a 0D isolated dinuclear [Mn2(L)2Cl2(DMF)2] structure that exists in P-1 with triclinic system, and the cell parameters are a = 8.4593(2), b = 9.4675(5), c = 11.0147(6) Å, α = 86.023(3), β = 74.892(6), γ = 78.055(4)°, V = 833.11(7) Å3, and Z = 1. These isolated 0D dinuclear [Mn2(L)2Cl2(DMF)2] motifs were extended into a 1D supramolecular chain via the connection of intermolecular C–H…Cl together with the C–H…O H bond. Furthermore, the novel CP’s treatment activity against the diabetic retinopathy was investigated, and the associated mechanism of the new compound was discussed.

Covalent linkage of [Mn2(μ-O2PPh2)2] units by trans-1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene ligands into one-dimensional and two-dimensional polymers

Two coordination polymers, [Mn2(μ-O2PPh2)2(η 1-O2PPh2)2(η 1-HOCH3)2(μ-bpe)2·CH3OH] n (1) and [Mn2(μ-O2PPh2)4(μ-bpe)2] n (2), were assembled in single-pot reactions from [Mn(CH3COO)2·4H2O], Ph2P(O)OK and trans-1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (bpe). The products were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed a one-dimensional metal-organic ladder type in 1 and a two-dimensional rectangular grid type in 2. Both 1 and 2 are constructed from six-coordinate Mn(II) nodes that adopt distorted octahedral (MnN4O2) environments; the adjacent nodes are connected by the μ-bpe linkers in 1 or μ-bpe and μ-O2PPh2 linkers in 2 to form different metal-organic networks. The catalytic property of complex 1 for selective thioether oxidation was also investigated in this work.
