Poly[₂-aqua-₄-naphthalene-1,8-dicarboxylato-manganese(II)]

G.-Y. Zhang, X. Zhang and G.-S. Yu

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Mn(C₁₂H₆O₄)(H₂O)]_n, contains one Mn^II ion, one 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylate (1,8-NDC) ligand and one water molecule. The Mn^II ion is six-coordinated within a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, in which the equatorial sites are occupied by four carboxylate O atoms from four different 1,8-NDC ligands, while the axial positions are occupied by two O atoms of two coordinated water molecules. Adjacent Mn^II centres are bridged by one coordinated water and two carboxylate groups in a syn-syn mode to form infinite chains along the b axis, which are further cross-linked by the naphthalene spacers of the 1,8-NDC ligands to produce a two-dimensional extended network.
