Novel 1-D coordination polymers containing mu-[N(CN)(2)](-) bridging ligands. Structure and magnetic properties of Mn[N(CN)(2)](2)L (L=2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-bipyridine)
One-dimensional coordination polymers consisting of {Mn[N(CN)(2)](2)}(infinity) structural units have been characterized. Incorporation of 2,2'-bipyridine and 4,4'-bipyridine affords zigzag and cylindrical chain structures, respectively; weak anti ferromagnetic coupling is also observed. 4,4'-bipyridine unexpectedly binds as a monodentate ligand.
