title: A diruthenium soft ferromagnet showing T(c) = 3.0 K: Mn4(H2O)16H[Ru2(CO3)4]2[Ru2(CO3)4(H2O)2]·11H2O.
abstract: A three-dimensional CO(3)(2-)-bridged Mn(II)-Ru(2)(II,III) complex, Mn(4)(H(2)O)(16)H[Ru(2)(CO(3))(4)](2)[Ru(2)(CO(3))(4)(H(2)O)(2)]·11H(2)O (1), was synthesized by self-assembling Ru(2)(CO(3))(4)(3-) paddle-wheel precursors and Mn(2+) cations. It contains an unprecedented layer [Ru(2)(CO(3))(4)](n)(3n-) with (4,4) network. The ferromagnetic coupling between spin centers results in ordering below 3.0 K.
