Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a 3D Mn(II)-organic framework with ABW–zeolite topology

A novel three-dimensional metal–organic framework, [Mn(pydc)(DMF)]n (1) (pydc = pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylate, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized, which consists of one-dimension Mn(COO)2 chains and rhombic channels. The porous complex 1 displays a 4-connected ABW–zeolite topology with vertex symbols of 4.6.4.6.6.82, and exhibits high thermal stability (315 °C) and anti-ferromagnetic properties.
