Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of Mn(II) containing 3D polymeric networks

Two novel 3D coordination polymers {[Mn(aip)(DMF)]}n, CPO-9, and {[Mn3(Hatp)2(atp)2](H2O)2(DEF)4}n CPO-10 (aip = 5-aminoisophthalate, atp = 2-aminoterephthalate, DMF = dimethylformamide, DEF = diethylformamide) have been synthesized by solvothermal methods. Their properties have been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The crystal structure of CPO-9 is based on infinite chains of carboxylato-bridged five-coordinated Mn(II) ions that are crosslinked via the aip ligands to form a 3D structure. CPO-10 is based on linear trinuclear building units of carboxylato-bridged octahedral Mn(II) ions that are crosslinked by the atp ligands into a 3D structure. Both compounds have 1D channels that contain solvent molecules. The solvent accessible void volume for CPO-10 is 51.9% of the unit cell volume. For both compounds, however, the solvent molecules cannot be removed without the collapse of the structures into amorphous phases at 250 °C. The magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate antiferromagnetic couplings between the Mn(II) ions in both compounds. The magnetic data have been fitted using theoretical approaches.

Two novel coordination polymers based on Mn(II) have been prepared, and their crystal structures have been solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermal and magnetic properties are discussed.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
