Poly[(μ6-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylato-κ6O1:O1′:O3:O3′:O5:O5′)tris(N,N-dimethylformamide-κO)tris(μ3-formato-κ2O:O′)trimagnesium(II)]
Abstract
The title complex, [Mg3(CHO2)3(C9H3O6)(C3H7NO)3]n, exhibits a two-dimensional structure parallel to (001), which is built up from the MgII atoms and bridging carboxylate ligands (3 symmetry). The MgII atom is six-coordinated by one O atom from a dimethylformamide molecule, two O atoms from two μ6-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate ligands and three O atoms from three μ3-formate ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry.
