Engineering coordination architecture by hydrothermal synthesis; preparation, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic behaviour of the coordination solid [Mn3{C6H3(CO2)3-1,3,5}2]

Abstract

The hydrothermal reaction of manganese dichloride with the potassium salt of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid at 220 °C gives [Mn3{C6H3(CO2)3-1,3,5}2] which exhibits two pathways for antiferromagnetic coupling.
