Abstract
New complex [Mn (SB)2(DMF)2] [W (CN)8] hereafter referred to as complex 1, which was prepared by self–assembly of [Mn (SB)2(DMF)2]3+ and [W (CN)8]3− and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) and single crystal X–ray techniques (H2SB is Schiff base derived from the condensation of salicylaldehyde and N,N–diethylethylenediamine and DMF is dimethylformamide). The structure consists of 1–D supramolecular chains and further stacks to give a 3–D supramolecular architecture whose molecular fragments are linked by hydrogen bond as well as C − H···π interactions between [Mn (SB)2(DMF)2]3+ and [W (CN)8]3−. An underlying net for the representation consists of two types of fragments with 1,4 M5–1 and 1,8 M9–1 topologies and further illustration of the molecular network in terms of a graph−theory approach using simplification procedure resulted in the underlying net of 2C1topological type in the complex 1. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of complex 1 was carried out in the temperature range 2–300 K, indicates the presence of either magnetic anisotropy zero field splitting, the effect of intramolecular interactions, or both. Complex 1 follows the Curie–Weiss law with Curie constant value of 3.43 cm3mol−1K, and the slight negative Weiss constant (−0.60 K) value indicates the predominant antiferromagnetic magnetic exchange interactions.
The magnetic properties of Title complex was investigated thoroughly and showed that ferromagnetic interaction between W(V) and Mn (III) operate via the intramolecular H–bonding interaction between cyanide nitrogens and a hydrogen atom.
