Hydrothermal synthesis of an open-framework manganese oxalate incorporating KCl chains
A manganese oxalate of the composition, K-2[Mn-2(C2O4)(3)]2[KCl].2H(2)O, containing metal oxalate layers connected by monodentate oxalate units has been synthesized hydrothermally. An unique feature of this material is that it contains K-Cl chains with a K-Cl distance of similar to3.2 Angstrom, close to the value in bulk KCl. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
