Cation-templated construction of three-dimensional α-Po cubic-type [M(dca)3]– networks. Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of A[M(dca)3] (dca = dicyanamide; for A = benzyltributylammonium, M = Mn2+, Co2+; for A = benzyltriethylammonium, M = Mn2+, Fe2+)

Abstract

A new family of three-dimensional cubic-like [M(dca)3]− networks (dca = dicyanamide) templated by appropriate cations has been constructed and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.
