✦ Synopsis


Carboxylate syn-anti / N-centered tripodal ligand / Manganese / Imidazole / Helicoı ¨dal inorganic chiral chain / Magnetism / π-π interaction

The crystal structure of an infinite inorganic chain consisting along the b axis of the P2 1 space group. The magnetic properties have been investigated. They show a pseudo-2D of Mn II and an

magnetic structure, with one major pathway along the chain and an inter-chain minor one. The intrachain coupling is a presented. It exhibits a chiral helical structure with a pitch of two monomeric units (each monomeric unit containing one weak antiferromagnetic interaction (J/k = -0.25). This low value is entirely consistent with the geometry of the bridge. Mn atom). Each manganese is connected to its neighbor through a carboxylate bridge in a syn-anti geometry. Around

The interchain coupling is a weaker antiferromagnetic coupling (JЈ/k = -0.11) and could be mediated through π-π each manganese center, two carboxylates bind in a cis geometry. This peculiar bridging geometry (syn-anti cis) interactions between pyridine and imidazole from two adjacent helixes. provides a broken-line chain, running in a zig-zag manner the results of structural and magnetic susceptibility studies [ ] IPG
