A new synthetic method to Mn carboxylate clusters: Reductive fragmentation of [Mn12O12(O2CR)16(H2O) 4] to [Mn8O2(O2CR)14(RCO2H) 4] (R = CH2but)

Abstract
The reaction of [Mn12O12(O2CCH2But) 16(H2O)4] (1) with a reducing agent followed by recrystallization from CH2Cl2/MeNO2 affords the novel octanuclear complex [Mn8O2(O2CCH2But) 14(ButCH2CO2H4] (2).
