Abstract

A new heterocyclic carboxylate ligand, 5-(4′-pyridyl)-3-methyl-benzoic acid (Hpmba), was synthesized to construct a Mn(II) coordination polymer, namely [Mn(pmba)2] n (1). Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 17.44(2), b = 17.040(12), c = 8.680(15) Å, β = 111.258(13), V = 2404(5) Å3, and Z = 4. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that complex 1 has a 3D metal-organic supramolecular framework consisting of double helical chains. Magnetic studies for complex 1 show antiferromagnetic coupling between the nearest Mn(II) ions, with g = 2.11 and J = −10.1 cm−1.

Graphical Abstract

A new Mn(II) coordination polymer [Mn(pmba)2] n (1) based on Hpmba has been synthesized and structurally characterized. It has a 3D metal-organic supramolecular framework consisting of double-helix chains. Magnetic analysis indicates weak antiferromagnetic coupling between Mn(II) ions.
