title: Novel coordination polymers based on the tetrathioterephthalate dianion as the bridging ligand.
abstract: The first examples of coordination polymers based on the tetrathioterephthalate dianion as the bridging ligand are reported. Two novel compounds, [M(S(2)CC(6)H(4)CS(2))(DMF)(2)](DMF) (M = Zn, Mn; DMF = dimethylformamide), have been synthesized, and their structural and optical properties were investigated.
