The odd–even effect in n-carboxyalkylammonium-containing organic–inorganic hybrids of Mn(ii) halides: structural and magnetic characterisation

Abstract

The combination of n-carboxyalkylamines with MnCl2 in HCl yields 0D compounds of the formula (NH3(CH2)nCOOH)2[MnCl4(H2O)2] when n = 2 or 4, and 2D halide perovskites of the formula (NH3(CH2)nCOOH)2[MnCl4] when n = 3 or 5.
