Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Magnetism of A 1-D Polymeric Manganese(II) Complex with 2-Hydroxyl-2-Hydroxylate-Malonate as Bridging Ligand

Abstract

A one-dimensional chain complex {Na[MnL(H₂O)₂]} _n (L = 2-hydroxyl-2-hydroxylate-malonate trivalent anion) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. In the complex each Mn ion is located in a distorted octahedral environment with two oxygen atoms O(7) and O(8) from terminal ligands of two H₂O molecules, and four other coordinating oxygen atoms O(1), O(5), O(3A) and O(6A) from two bridging ligands, respectively. Each bridging ligand provides four coordinating oxygen atoms, in which O(6) comes from the hydroxylate, O(5) from the hydroxyl, and O(1) and O(3) from two carboxylate groups, respectively. The O(1) and O(5) atoms coordinate to one Mn ion and the O(3) and O(6) atoms coordinate to another Mn ion; a one-dimensional chain is thereby constructed. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility of the complex was measured in the 4–300 K range. The magnetic coupling parameter is consistent with an antiferromagnetic exchange and generates the antiferromagnetic coupling parameter, 2J=−0.0544 cm⁻¹.
