“…In recent years, much attention has been devoted to dicyanamide-anion-(dca-) bridged coordination polymers [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] for the large variety of magnetic properties, especially the -M(dca) 2 series of compounds, which have isomorphous rutile-like structure, display ferromagnetism (Co, Ni) [43][44][45][46], spin-canted antiferromagnetism (Cr, Mn, Fe) [47,48], and paramagnetism (Cu) [45,46]. Of further importance, from a structural perspective, when auxiliary L ligands are introduced to the ternary M II -dca-L systems, different coordination architectures, such as mononuclear and dinuclear compounds [49], 1D chains [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58], 2D (4,4) or (6,3) [59][60][61][62][63] sheets, and 3D network topologies [64][65][66][67], could be constructed (Scheme 1).
