Field-Dependent Magnetic Behaviour in MnII (dicarboxylate)-(bipyridyl)-type 3D Metal-Organic Frameworks with Interpenetrated Structures

摘要

abstract_textpThree new three-dimensional (3D) Mn-II based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) {Mn(tda)(bpy)}(4)center dot 2CH(3)CN(n) (1), Mn(tda)(b-pe) center dot xH(2)O n (2) and Mn(tda)(4-bpmh)center dot 2CH(3)CN(n) (3) have been solvothermally synthesized using MnCl2 center dot 4H(2)O, thiophene-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid (H2tda) and different pyridyl N, N'-donor spacer ligands bpy = 4,4'-bipyridyl, bpe = 1,2-bis-(4-pyridyl) ethylene and 4-bpmh = N, N'-bispyridine-4-yl-methylene-hydrazine. Structural study reveals twofold interpenetrated 3D pillar-layer structures for all three complexes, constructed from twodimensional (2D) Mn-carboxylate layers and neutral bipyridyl pillars. The 2D layers represent continuous extension of dinuclear Mn-2(CO2)(4)N-4 nodes inter-connected via the tda ligands. Topological characterization represents a twofold inter-penetrated 6-connected uninodal net with pcu a-Po primitive cubic topology. Variable temperature magnetic measurements in the three complexes reveal the presence of similar antiferromagnetic interactions between neighbouring MnII ions, mediated through syn-syn carboxylate bridges. However, temperature dependent susceptibility plots taken at different magnetic fields show that the antiferromagnetic interactions observed in the complexes at lower magnetic fields are overcome by some inter-cluster interactions at higher magnetic fields. This interesting feature has also been perceived from field-dependent magnetization measurements and the hysteresis data./p/abstract_text
