A Hybrid Open-Framework Structure Containing Different Manganese Phosphate Chains as Its Building Blocks

An open-framework hybrid solid with
two different types of manganese phosphate chains has been synthesized
under solvent-free conditions. A type I chain consists of isolated
Mn2O10 dimers, while a type II chain contains
an infinite Mn–O–Mn chain constructed from corner-sharing
Mn2O10 dimers. The compound shows ferrimagnetic
behavior, which is different from the antiferromagnetic behavior for
its structural analogue that only contains type I manganese phosphate
chains.
