Mn-II(TCNE)(3/2)(I-3)(1/2) and Mn-II(TCNE)[C-4(CN)(8)](1/2) [tetracyanoethylene (TCNE)] are organic-based magnets with 3D and 2D extended network structures with vastly different magnetic behavior. They have similar ferrimagnetic coupled layers of Mn-II(TCNE)(center dot-) with different interlayer couplings, which lead, respectively, to net ferrimagnetic (T-c = 171 K) and antiferromagnetic (T-c=68 K) order.
