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.
