Abstract
The synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic studies are reported for a two‐dimensional network of mixed‐valent {Mn6} cages. The compound contains three different bridging ligands: pivalate, phenylphosphonate and partially deprotonated triethanolamine. The result of using three bridging ligands is a complex structure involving a {MnIII2MnII4} edge‐sharing bitetrahedron that interlinks, forming a layered structure. Weak intercage interactions lead to a remarkably complicated magnetic behaviour, with a phase transition at 2.1 K leading to a canted antiferromagnetic state.
