Two Mn(II)–Au(I) supramolecular assemblies bonded by coordination, aurophilicity and hydrogen-bonding, π–π interactions and their magnetic properties

Abstract: Two Mn(II)–Au(I) supramolecular assemblies {{Mn[Au(CN)2]2(H2O)4} [Au(CN)2]2(H2bpy)·H2O}(bpy=4,4′-bipyridine) 1 and {Mn(4,4′-dmbpy) [Au(CN)2]2(CH3OH)} (4,4′-dmbpy=4,4′-dimethyl-bipyridine) 2 have been synthesized and magnetic properties have been investigated The interplay of aurophilicity, coordination, hydrogen-bonding and π–π interactions in two complexes result in three-dimensional network.
