Poly[(μ3-biphenyl-3,4′-dicarboxylato-κ4O3:O3′:O4′,O4′′)(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline-κ2N7,N8)manganese(II)]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn(C14H8O4)(C13H8N4)]n, the MnII atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by four O atoms from three different carboxylate groups and two N atoms from one imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline molecule. The organic ligands link inorganic MnII nodes, forming a zigzag chain along the c axis.
