The 1:2/3 adduct of manganese(II) terephthalate with N,N-dimethylformamide

Y.-L. Fu, J.-L. Ren, H.-P. Qiao and S. W. Ng

Abstract: Manganese(II) terephthalate crystallizes from N,N-dimethylformamide under solvothermal conditions as a $2 \over 3$ DMF adduct, [Mn₃(C₈H₄O₄)₃(C₃H₇NO)₂]; the compound is formally bis(N,N-dimethylformamide)tri- [mu] ₅, [mu] ₅, [mu] ₄-terephthalato-trimanganese, which adopts a polymeric three-dimensional network structure. One of the tetraanions lies on a general position and binds to five Mn atoms, with one carboxyl group functioning as a [mu] ₂-bridge and the other as a [mu] ₃-bridge. The other lies on an inversion center, the dianion functioning in the [mu] ₄-bridging mode. One Mn atom lies on a general position and is surrounded by six O atoms belonging to tetraanions. The other lies on a twofold axis and is also surrounded by six O atoms, one of which belongs to the DMF molecule.
