Abstract

[Mn(tfbdc)(MeOH)4] was synthesized by reaction of tetrafluoroterephthalatic acid with manganese(II) perchlorate hexahydrate in methanol. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, magnetism, and X-ray single crystal structure analysis. This complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c. Mn(II) has a distorted octahedral geometry coordinated by two oxygens from two tetrafluoroterephthalate (tfbdc) and four MeOH molecules. Each tfbdc ligand bridges two Mn(II) ions in end-to-end fashion, forming a zigzag chain. These chains are connected by hydrogen bonds, forming a 2-D supramolecular network. Magnetic susceptibility data from 300–1.8 K show that there is a weak antiferromagnetic exchange between Manganese(II) ions.
