[Mn(H2O)2]4[HNC5H4(COO)]2[C6H2(COO)4]2·4H2O — Ein dreidimensionales Koordinationspolymer mit Gastwassermolekülen in kanalartigen Hohlräumen

Mn(H₂O)₂]₄HNC₅H₄(COO)]₂C₆H₂(COO)₄]₂·4H₂O — A Three‐dimensional Coordination Polymer with Guest Water Molecules in Channel‐like Voids Single crystals of Mn(H₂O)₂]₄HNC₅H₄(COO)]₂C₆H₂(COO)₄]₂·4H₂O have been prepared in aqueous solution at 55 °C. Space group P1¯ (no. 2), a = 999.7(2), b = 1314.4(2), c = 1645.8(2) pm, α = 101.096(8)°, β = 92.796(14)°, γ = 96.03(2)°, V = 2.1053(5) nm³, Z = 2. There are four unique Mn²⁺ which are coordinated in a distorted, octahedral manner by two water molecules, three oxygen atoms of the pyromellitate anions and one oxygen atom of isonicotinic acid (Mn—O 208.6(2) — 227.3(3) pm). The connection of Mn²⁺ and C₆H₂(COO)₄]^4— yields a three‐dimensional coordination polymer with two different, channel‐like voids extending parallel to 110]. The first channel accomodates water molecules, the second channel is filled by isonicotinic acid molecules. Thermogravimetric analysis in air revealed that the loss of water of crystallisation occurs in two steps between 97 and 200 °C. The dehydrated sample was stable between 200 and 340 °C. Further decomposition yielded Mn₃O₄.
