title: Structural and magnetic properties of oxyquinolinate clusters of cobalt(II) and manganese(II) and serendipitous intake of carbonate during synthesis.
abstract: During transformation of a tetra-nuclear cobalt oxiquinolinate cluster to a deca-nuclear cobalt oxyquinolinate cluster, serendipitous intake of a carbonate ion was observed. By following a similar synthetic path, a deca-nuclear manganese oxyquinolinate cluster was prepared. These clusters show anti-ferromagnetic behavior.
