Abstract

A porous coordination polymer {[Mn2(DBIBA)3]NO3·3DMF·4H2O}n (1) [DBIBAH = 3,5-di(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)benzoic acid] has been synthesized solvothermally and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The following four new coordination polymers {[Mn2(DBIBA)3]·ClO4·DMF·H2O}n (2), {[Mn2(DBIBA)3]·Cl·DMF·8H2O}n (3), {[Mn2(DBIBA)3]·NO3·CH3OH·5H2O}n (4) and {[Mn2(DBIBA)3]·NO3·3CH3COCH3·7H2O}n (5) have been synthesized from 1 via anion/solvent exchange protocols in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion at room temperature. Gas sorption studies for desolvated compounds 1, 2, and 3 show that CO2 uptake capacity is entirely dependent upon the size of the anion present in the framework. Complex 1 also exhibits antiferromagnetic properties below 17 K, confirmed through magnetic susceptibility measurements.
