Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Luminescent Properties of a Two-Dimensional Mn(II) Coordination Polymer: Catena-(diaqua-tetrakis(µ2-cinnamato-o,o′)-manganese(II))

Abstract

A new manganese(II) complex: Catena-(diaqua-tetrakis(µ2-cinnamato-o,o′)-manganese(II) was prepared by the method of solvothermal synthesis, and its two-dimensional coordination polymeric network was determined by X-ray diffraction. It crystallized in monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 36.934(14) Å, b = 6.468(2) Å, c = 7.435(3) Å, ß = 91.733(7)°, Z = 4, Dc = 1.441 Mg/m3, V = 1775.2(11) Å3. Under ultraviolet radiation of 338 nm the emissions of the title complex mainly result from its ligand: cinnamic acid.
