A polymeric, layered bimetallic Mn(ii)Fe(iii) imidazolate network; crystal structure and magnetic properties
Abstract
The use of a C3 complex bearing three imidazolate groups as a ‘building block’ allowed us to synthesize an infinite corrugated two-dimensional (2D) low-spin Fe(III)–high-spin Mn(II) polymer exhibiting weak ferromagnetic intralayer interaction through imidazolate bridge.
