Abstract

A chain-like compound of [Mn(salpn)][Fe(bipy)(CN)4] (1) (salpn = N,N'-propylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion; bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine), assembled from building blocks of [Fe(bipy)(CN)4]- and [Mn(salpn)]+, has been characterized by elemental analyses, ICP, IR, thermoanalysis, single crystal X-ray structure analysis and magnetic measurements. In 1, each [Fe(bipy)(CN)4]- anion coordinates with two [MnIII(salpn)]+ cations via two trans-CN- groups, and each [MnIII(salpn)]+ cation is axially coordinated by two [Fe(bipy)(CN)4]- ions, resulting in a straight 1-D chain. The chains stack via aromatic π-π-type interactions. Magnetic studies reveal the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent FeIII and MnIII ions through cyanide-bridges.
