The new self-assembly tripodal hexadentate Schiff base compound, C 27 H 30 N 4 O 3 , derived from tris(2-aminoethyl)amine(tren) with salicylaldehyde and its manganese(III) complex [(C 27 H 27 N 4 O 3 )Mn]·CH 3 OH(1) were designed and synthesized by original self-assembly reaction at room temperature in the solution of methanol. Both the compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrometry, UV-Vis spectroscopy and X-ray sin-gle crystal diffraction. It is noteworthy that the tripodal hexadentate Schiff base ligand effectively encapsulates the manganese(III) ion and enforces a six-coordinate geometry in complex 1 with the apical nitrogen atom of tren-Schiff base remaining unbound to the metal. It is found that there are several intra-molecular hydrogen bonds in them(C—H···O and O—H···N). In addition, quantum chemistry calculations were also performed and discussed in detail. These results are consistent with the structural analyses of them.
