The synthesis of novel metal-organic coordination polymers (MOCP) with the chemical formula [MnL (SCN)(OH)]·CHOH [L = 1,5-bis(pyridine-4-ylmethylene) carbonohydrazide] {} was accomplished using two different techniques: solvothermal and sonochemical ultrasonic-assisted. An investigation was carried out to examine the impact of various factors such as reaction time, sonication power, temperature, and reactant concentration on the morphology and size of the crystals. Interestingly, it was found that sonication power and temperature did not affect the crystals' morphology and size.
