Treatment of a mixed-valence Mn-6 cluster, [MnO2-(t-BuCO2)(10)(t-BuCO2H)(4)] (1). with 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) in dichloromethane/1,2-dichloroethane solution gave a one-dimensional polymeric chain compound, [Mn6O2(t-BuCO2)(10)(t-BuCO2H)(2)(bpy)] (2), in which the parent cluster core was maintained as a building block.
