Cation templation of Mn2+/[Mo(CN)7]4− system: Formation of pseudo-dimorphs (NH4)2Mn3(H2O)4[Mo(CN)7]2 · nH2O (n = 4, 5)

Pseudo-dimorphic phases (NH4)2Mn3(H2O)4[Mo(CN)7]2 · nH2O (n = 4 for 2, n = 5 for 3) have been obtained by introduction of NH4+ into the system Mn2+/[Mo(CN)7]4−. These coordination polymers present similar three-dimensional networks of low symmetry and crystallize in monoclinic system (C2/c space group).
