title: 3D Mn(II) coordination polymer with alternating azide/azide/formate/formate bridged chains: synthesis, structure and magnetic properties.
abstract: A new 3D Mn(II) coordination polymer, [Mn(2)(HCO(2))(L)(2)(N(3)) x MeOH](infinity) (1) (L = nicotinate N-oxide), was synthesized by a solvothermal reaction and characterized magnetically. Complex 1 is a typical antiferromagnet with alternating azide/azide/formate/formate bridges, exhibiting a new -J(1)J(1)J(2)J(2)- coupling sequence. This is the first complex to contain an azide, formate and another type of carboxylate ligand.
