Abstract

An unusual 3D manganese(II) coordination polymer based on the flexible bis(benzimidazole) ligand, namely, [Mn(L)(ndc)]n (L=1,4-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, H2ndc=2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid), was synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, thermal gravimetric and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex exhibits an unprecedented three-fold interpenetrating xah architecture with a (4,5)-connected (42.62.82)(46.64) topology, which represents the first binodal (4,5)-connected xah network observed in coordination polymers. The fluorescence and catalytic properties of the complex for the degradation of the Congo red dye in a photo-Fenton-like process were investigated.
