Crystal Structure and Magnetic Property of a Two-dimensional Manganese Compound [Mn（PhCOO）2（4,4＇-bipyridine）]n

A new two-dimensional polymeric manganese compound [Mn(PhCOO)2(4,4'-bipyridine)]n 1 has been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in space group Pbcn with a = 18.7158(2), b = 11.6919(3), c = 9.4799(2)(A), V = 2074.42(7)(A)3, Z = 4, Mr = 453.34, Dc = 1.452 g/cm3, μ = 0.670 mm-1 and F(000) = 932. The final refinement gave R = 0.0458 and wR = 0.1439 for 1358 observed reflections with Ⅰ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). The complex consists of repeating units of Mn(PhCOO)2(4,4'-bipyridine). Each Mn center is sixcoordinated by four carboxylate O atoms of four benzoate anions and two pyridyl N atoms from bipy ligands to furnish a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The two adjacent Mn atoms are connected by a pair of μ1,3-carboxylate groups to form infinite chains, which are further interlinked by bipy to complete a 2D grid network. The magnetic property of the polymeric complex has also been investigated.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Cu3（dmpzm）4（μ-1, 3-dca）2（dca）4]·2H2O （dmpzm = 1,1＇-Methylenebis- （3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole）, dca = dicyanamide）

The title compound, [Cu3（dmpzm）4（μ-1,3-dca）2（dca）4]·2H2O （dmpzm = 1,1＇-methylenebis（3,5-dimethyl-lH-pyrazole）, dca = dicyanamide） 1·2H2O, was synthesized via the reaction of CuCl2·2H2O with dmpzm and Na（dca）, and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra. 1·2H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/m with a = 13.578（3）, b = 16.769（3）, c = 14.769（3） A, β = 104.10（3）° V = 3261.4（11） A^3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.466 g/cm^3, T = 153（2） K, C56H68N34O2Cu3, Mr = 1440.09, F（000） = 1490,μ（MoKa） = 1.040 mm^-1, S = 1.150, R = 0.0553 and wR = 0.1123 for 2744 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. The central copper atom is chelated by two dmpzm ligands and coordinated by two bridging dca anions, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The two external copper atoms adopt a square-pyramidal coordination geometry, coordinated by one chelating dmpzm ligand and one bridging and two terminal dca anions. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions result in the formation of a 2D （4,4） hydrogen-bonded network.
