Trinuclear first row transition metal complexes of a hexapyridyl, trialkoxy 1,3,5-triarylbenzene ligand

Trinuclear complexes of Mn-II, Fe-II, Co-II, Ni-II, Cu-II, and Zn-II were synthesized using a ligand architecture based upon a 1,3,5-triarylbenzene core decorated with six pyridines and three alkoxide moieties. Characterization via X-ray diffraction, NMR, and magnetism studies is discussed.
