Hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of the (C(n)H(2n+6)N(2)[Mn(3)(HPO(3))4] (n = 3-8) new layered inorganic-organic hybrid manganese(II) phosphites. Crystal structure and spectroscopic and magnetic properties of (C(3)H(12)N(2)[Mn(3)(HPO(3))4].

The (C(n)H(2n+6)N(2))[Mn(3)(HPO(3))(4)] (n = 3-8) compounds have been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and characterized by X-ray diffraction data and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of (C(3)H(12)N(2))[Mn(3)(HPO(3))(4)] has been solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The unit-cell parameters are a = 9.
