Abstract
Two isomorphous bimetallic polymeric transition metal dicyanamides [Cu(OAc)(bpy)2][Mn(dca)3(H2O)] (1) and [Zn(OAc)(bpy)2][Mn(dca)3(H2O)] (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dca = dicyanamide) have been synthesized and characterized. Each consists of Mn-dca ladder chain anions and chelated cations of the other metal, Cu or Zn. The novel ladder-like [Mn(dca)3(H2O)-]n chains build a pseudo-(4,4) sheet through hydrogen bonds between the chains. The [M(OAc)(bpy)2]+ (M = Cu, Zn) cations form a layer through weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and φ-φ interactions. These oppositely charged sheets construct a sandwich structure by conventional O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯C/N/O interactions. The Mn2+ ions are octahedrally coordinated in both compounds, while Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions have distorted octahedral environments. Magnetic investigation shows that the coupling interaction between Mn2+ centers of the ladder Mn-dca chains is weak antiferromagnetic.
