A self-assembled hexadecanuclear 4 × [2 × 2] Mn(<scp>ii</scp>)₁₆square grid from a pyridazine bis(hydrazone) ligand: synthesis, structure and magnetism

Abstract

A compartmentalized {4 x[2 x 2]} Mn(II)16 antiferromagnetically coupled square grid results from the self-assembly reaction of a tetratopic pyridazine bis(hydrazone) ligand and Mn(II).
