Synthesis, structure and properties of copper(II) and manganese(II) coordination polymers with 1,5-dinitronaphthalene-3,7-dicarboxylate

With a nitro-functionalized dicarboxylate ligands, the title Cu(II) compound contains cross-packed supramolecular ladders formed via hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions, while the Mn(II) compound exhibits a 3D pcu framework based on Mn3(COO)6 clusters, for which magnetic analyses are performed based not only on temperature-dependent susceptibilities but also on field-dependent magnetizations.
