Abstract
Self-assembly of manganese acetate with 1,3-bis(4-carboxy-phenoxy)propane (H2bcp) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (bpe) under solvothermal conditions yielded a polymer {[Mn2(bcp)2(bpe)(DMF)]} n (1), which shows 2-D → 3-D inclined interpenetration with polyrotaxane character. The magnetic behavior of 1 shows antiferromagnetic exchange between Mn magnetic centers.
