Versatile oxalato-bridging modes: a novel three-dimensional framework structure of manganese(ii) oxalate complex [MnC₂O₄]·0.5H₂O and the relationship with other manganese(ii) oxalates

Abstract

Versatile bridging oxalates build up the delicate 3D structure, leaving the cavity for a hydrogen-bonded water molecule.

Sorption and Magnetic Properties of Oxalato-Based Trimetallic Open Framework Stabilized by Charge-Assisted Hydrogen Bonds

“…The large number of coordination modes defined for this anion [2] enables the tailoring of the formed networks. Therefore, oxalato-based coordination polymers were synthesized and studied as materials showing numerous topologies (chains, layers, or 3D networks) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] and hence, also different properties, being e.g., single chain magnets [1,15], water soluble magnets [10,16], chiral magnets [17], spin-crossover compounds [18], luminescent materials [19][20][21], NLO materials [22], photocatalysts and catalysts [23,24], materials showing conductivity [11,25,26], sorption materials [27,28], and precursors for nanomaterials possessing pharmacological potential [29].…”
