(5) have been synthesized, where x-Me-salH2 = x-methyl salicylic acid (x = 3, 4, 5), py = pyridine, and 4-Me-py = 4-methyl-pyridine. The 3D frameworks of compounds 1−4 can be described as diamondoid networks. Magnetic studies show that weak MnII−MnIII antiferromagnetic interactions (in the range of −0.55 to −0.22 K) mediated by syn-anti carboxylate bridges are present in all compounds. While 5 remains paramagnetic down to 1.8 K, the 3D networks exhibit long-range ferrimagnetic ordering below 7.4 K for 1, 4.6 K for 2, 3.0 K for 3, and 7.7 K for 4. The decrease of the critical temperature reflects the increase of the coordination number around the Mn(II) site from four in 1, five in 2, and six in 3 that lower the bond strength and the magnetic interactions. This result also reinforces the hypothesis that the structures of 1 and 4 are similar as suggested by the X-ray analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
