Abstract

Through use of the SPh(3)(+) (Ph = phenyl, C(6)H(5)) cation as a molecular template, a new three-dimensional Mn(dca)(3)(-) [dca = dicyanamide, N(CN)(2)(-)] anionic structure has been crystallized. At room temperature, (SPh(3))Mn(dca)(3) (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with a = 11.7079(5) A, b = 12.8554(5) A, c = 16.8605(6) A, beta = 100.666(2) degrees, and V = 2493.8(3) A(3). Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that this salt exhibits a spin canted long range antiferromagnetically ordered ground state below 2.5 K.
