A new Mn(II) complex {[Mn5(CH3COO)2(L)2(DMF)8](DMF)}n (1), (H4L = 3,5-bis(3′,5′-dicarboxylphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The complex 1 have pentanuclear Mn(II) core, where the two sides of metal centers (Mn2 and Mn3) have trigonal bipyramidal arrangement and the middle metal center (Mn1) have octahedral environment utilizing two O atoms from adjacent bridging bidentate carboxylate groups and four O atoms from four coordinated DMF molecules. The planar arrangement of pentanuclear Mn(II) atoms are linked by L linkage to generate two dimensional sheet. The magnetic property of the compound indicates χMT value for the five Mn(II) unit to be 21.3 cm3 K mol−1 at 300 K, which is close to the spin-only value (21.9 cm3 K mol−1) for the pentamer having S = 5/2. Also, the Hirshfeld surface analyses have been performed which indicated the absence of weak Mn···Mn interaction thereby corroborating the results of observed magnetic properties.
