Poly[tetramethylammonium [tri-μ2-formato-κ6 O:O′-manganate(II)]]

Abstract

In the title compound, {(C4H12N)[Mn(HCO2)3]} n , the MnII atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by O-atom donors from the three double-bridging formate ligands, one of which lies across a crystallographic mirror plane, giving a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere. A three-dimensional NaCl-type framework is generated in which the tetramethylammonium cations, which lie across mirror planes and occupy the cavities in the polymer structure, form weak C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the formate ligands.
