Exploratory syntheses,crystal structures,and properties of two new 3-D coordination polymers of Mn(II) and Fe(II) with (54.62) (510.63.7.8) topological spaces

Solvothermal reactions of terphenyl-2,5,2′,5′-tetracarboxylic acid (H₄qptc) and M^II (M = Mn, Fe) in the presence of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) afford two new coordination polymers, M(qptc)(dppe-O)] _n (M?=?Mn (1), Fe (2)) (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)ethane?=?dppe-O). The structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TGA, and magnetism. The M^II in 1 and 2 are linked by qptc^4? to form 2-D layers, which are further connected via the oxidized dppe (dppe-O) exhibiting a (4,6)-connected network with the (5⁴.6²)(5¹⁰.6³.7.8) topology.
