Synthesis, crystal structure, and spectral analysis of a 1-D Mn(II) coordination polymer

A manganese(II) coordination polymer [Mn(TMB)2 · H2O] n (1) (HTMB = 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, spectroscopic (IR, solid state UV-Vis), and thermal methods. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic system, space group P212121, with cell parameters a = 7.3001(8), b = 11.4146(13), c = 27.053(3) Å, α = β = γ = 90°, V = 2254.3(4) Å3, Z = 4. In 1, TMB in two different coordination modes bridges six-coordinate manganese(II) centers forming a 1-D infinite chain coordination framework. The spectral and thermal properties of the complexes have also been studied.
