Versatile oxalato-bridging modes: a novel three-dimensional framework structure of manganese(ii) oxalate complex [MnC2O4]·0.5H2O and the relationship with other manganese(ii) oxalates†
Abstract
An unknown manganese(II) oxalate complex [MnC2O4]·0.5H2O (1) was discovered with a novel three-dimensional structure, exhibiting versatile bridging modes of the oxalate ligand. The thermal and magnetic behaviors of this complex were studied and the relationship with four other manganese(II) oxalates is also discussed.
