Article Description

Two new Mn coordination polymers, {[Mn(TBIP) (CHOH)]·(HO) } (1) and {[Mn(TBIP)(HTBIP) ((CH)CHOH)]} (2) (HTBIP = 5-tert-butyl isophthalic acid), have been synthesized by a solvothermal reaction and characterized magnetically. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that 1 is a three-dimensional framework, which is based on a helical chain with a new periodic -JJJ J- sequence. Compound 2 has a two dimensional layer structure constructed by trinuclear Mn(ii) subunits that are extended into a 3D architecture by hydrogen bonds. Magnetic measurements indicate that both of the compounds show ferrimagnetic behaviour with different spin topologies. Compound 1 is a rare even-spin centre homometallic ferrimagnetic compound, in which the ferrimagnetism arises from the nature of carboxylate bridging modes. It is also the first example of a 3D homometallic ferrimagnetic compound, featuring a ferrimagnetic helical chain with a (5/2, 15/2) spin topology and a 1/2 magnetization plateau. Compound 2 is a three-spin centre homometallic ferrimagnetic complex with a (5/2, 10/2) spin topology and a 1/3 magnetization plateau. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
