Five new Mn(II) complexes based on flexible bis(imidazole) ligands: Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties

This paper reports five new Mn(II) compounds including three chain structures (1-3) and two 3D frameworks (4 and 5) by use of structural and magnetic approaches. Compound 1 exhibits ferrimagnetic-like behavior, while compounds 2-5 display antiferromagnetic behaviors.
