Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Stucture of a Mn(II) Coordination Polymer Containing Pyridine-carboxylic Ligand

Abstract

By hydrothermal method, a polymer compound, Mn(nia)₂(H₂O)₂ was synthe-sized and its structure was characterized with elemental analysis and X-ray diffractometer. The Mn(II) centers adopt a distorted bipyramidal geometry which is surrounded by six coordination atoms from nicotinate and water molecular and the metal centers coordinates to the pyridyl and carboxylate groups to form 2-D framework along bc plane.
