| The crystal engineering of one-, two-, and three-dimensional Cu(I) and Mn(II) coordination networks are presented. In total, sixteen Cu(I) coordination networks, two Cu(I) complexes, and two Mn(II) coordination networks are discussed. One-dimensional Cu(I) networks were synthesized using 1,3-dithiane and 4,7-phenanthroline ligands. A two-dimensional Cu(I) network related to the clay minerals and three one-dimensional networks were formed using the trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene ligand. One- two- and three-dimensional Cu(I)/4,4′-bipyridine networks were synthesized using the large multiply-charged PM12O40 −3 ion (M = Mo or W) as a non-coordinating anion. Finally, the synthesis and magnetic properties of coordination networks with the d5 metal cation, Mn(II), and pyrimidine are detailed. |
