Solvothermal Synthesis and Structure of Anhydrous Manganese(II) Formate, and Its Topotactic Dehydration from Manganese(II) Formate Dihydrate

Abstract

2 , and the structure of this phase has been determined by Xray diffraction. The same product can be obtained by solidstate dehydration of single crystals of manganese formate dihydrate, giving crystals that, although of poor quality, still allow for a single crystal structure determination. The structural relationship between the hydrated and anhydrous

DFT-based evaluation of porous metal formates for the storage and separation of small molecules

“…While the following discussion will focus on the α-polymorph of M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 M(fa) 2 (also termed "diamond framework" due to its topology), it is worth noting that other metal formate frameworks with different topologies have been synthesised, which have been reviewed by Wang and co-workers. [7] The first system of the α-M(fa) 2 series was manganese formate, which was first reported by Viertelhaus et al in 2003. [8] The following year, Kim and co-workers studied the porosity (adsorption of CO 2 , H 2 , and other gases) and commented on the material's potential use in gas separation, [9] while Wang, Kobayashi and co-workers investigated the magnetic properties.…”

[10] Subsequently, the group of Wang published a series of further studies, reporting the structures, guest inclusion behaviour, and (where relevant) magnetic properties of Co(fa) 2 , [11] Zn(fa) 2 , [12] and Fe(fa) 2.…”

Solvothermal synthesis of anhydrous γ-Mn(CH3COO)2: A weak ferromagnet with an ordering temperature of 40K and spin-glass behavior

“…At the same time, the chemistry of materials containing an exclusive metal atom has been extensively investigated, such as anhydrous metal formates. This kind of materials show multi-functional properties including porosity and magnetism [4][5][6][7].…”

“…At the same time, the chemistry of materials containing an exclusive metal atom has been extensively investigated, such as anhydrous metal formates. This kind of materials show multi-functional properties including porosity and magnetism [4][5][6][7].As a simple bridging ligand, the acetate anion (Ac À ) has been found to form a variety of compounds [8][9][10][11][12][13]. As far as we are aware, only a few crystal structures of anhydrous 3D metal acetates (Mn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Fe 2+ , Ni 2+ and Co 2+ ) have been reported [8,10,12,13].…”

“…The solvothermal synthesis has been proven a useful route to the preparation of a variety of novel carboxylate-metal materials [6][7][8][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Interestingly, b-Mn(CH 3 COO) 2 has been initially prepared from the solvothermal reaction of [Mn 3 O(O 2 CCH 3 ) 6 (py) 3 ] with terephthalic acid in MeCN at 150°C under autogenous pressure.…”
