Abstract

[{Mn(tmeda)}3{GeSe3(OMe)}2] (1), synthesized by the reaction of [K4(H2O)3][Ge2Se6] with MnCl2·4H2O in MeOH–tmeda (tmeda = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,2-diaminoethane), exhibits an isosceles triangular arrangement of Mn2+ ions that are antiferromagnetically coupled with an S = 3/2 ground state.
