title: Heptacoordinated Mn(II) in oxalate-based bimetallic 2D magnets: synthesis and characterisation of [Mn(L)6][Mn(CH3OH)M(III)(ox)3]2 (M(III) = Cr, Rh; ox = oxalate dianion; L = H2O, CH3OH).
abstract: Oxalate-based magnets have been known with several different crystallographic structures, from 1D to 3D, but with all of them based in metal ions with octahedral coordination. In this article we report a new bidimensional oxalate-bridged bimetallic magnet where the divalent metal appears heptacoordinated, which has strong effects in the structure and properties of this materials.
