Abstract

Two 2D Mn (II) complexes, [Mn3(TzDC)2(phen)3] x 2 H2O (1; H3TzDC = 1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) and [Mn3(TzDC)2(bipy)3] x 4 H2O (2; bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine), were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and characterized magnetically, and complex 1 was the first example of the chiral complex with a Kagomé lattice connectivity obtained through spontaneous resolution.
