The Study of the Catalytic Activity in the Mn(II) Coordination Polymer

The favorable design and syntheses of novel coordination polymers have attracted a great attention not only due to the fascinating structural motifs of them but also because of their promising applications such as catalysis, magnetism, nonlinear optics and luminescence [1,2]. In industry, synthesis of chemical compounds is often accompanied by environmental pollution and hazardous substances are released into the environment. The use of heterogeneous catalysts is a useful way to reduce such contamination [3]. In this work, a Mn(II) coordination polymer of formulation [Mn(L1)2(N3)2]n (1), L1 =3,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, synthesized and it was characterized by X-ray crystallography, thermal studies, elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Nanostructures of 1 was prepareded by sonochemical process at ambient temperature. The catalytic operation of this compound was investigated.
