A three-dimensional metal-organic framework with a distorted Kagome related layer showing canted antiferromagnetic behaviour.
Three-dimensional [Mn(3){C(6)H(3)(COO)(3)}(2)] comprising two-dimensional -Mn-O-Mn- distorted Kagome layers, formed by two geometrically different hexa-coordinated Mn(2+) ions, show less frustration and spin canted long range ordering possibly due to antisymmetric exchange.
