Structures and magnetic properties of 3D manganese(II)- and 2D pillar-layered copper(II)-organic framework derived from mixed carboxylate ligands

One 3D manganese(II) and one 3-fold interpenetrated 2D copper(II) pillar-layered magnetic frameworks (1 and 2) have been successfully synthesized from mixed carboxylate ligands. Magnetic studies reveal the presence of antiferromagnetic ordering at low temperature in 1 and strong antiferromagnetic interaction in 2.209
