Magneto-structural correlations of a three-dimensional Mn based metal-organic framework.

A 3D metal-organic framework, [Na{Mn(3)(Hbtc)(2)(btc)}.5H(2)O](n) () (H(3)btc = 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylic acid), was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The structure of was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c, a = 9.
