A Corrugated 2D Mn(Ⅱ) Network:[Mn_3(μ-oxalate)_3(μ-4,4'-bpy)_2(4,4'-bpy)_2]_n

1 INTRODUCTION It is well known that the bi-functional 4,4?-bi- pyridine (4,4?-bpy) has the ability to act as a rigid, rod-like organic building block in the self-assembly of coordination frameworks. Many researches have also been done on the metal oxalate compounds. The remarkable coordination abilities of oxalate and 4,4?- bpy ligands are applied to design and synthesize new polymeric coordination complexes1～4] containing mixed bridging ligands. Manganese is one of the several first-r…
