MnCl2.2H2O (0.5 mmol) and 5-methoxybenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (1 mmol) were placed in a 20 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel with DMF (8 ml). The mixture was heated to 433 K over a period of 4 h and kept at that temperature for 2 d. The reaction system was cooled slowly to room temperature over a period of 2 d. Pale-yellow prismatic crystals of (I) were collected, washed thoroughly with DMF, and dried in air at room temperature (yield 76%, based on MnCl2.2H2O). Elemental analysis (%) calculated for C12H13MnNO6: C 44.74, H 4.07, N 4.35; found: C 44.68, H 4.15, N 4.24.
H atoms attached to the anisotropically refined atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and included as riding atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The design and syntheses of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are of great interest, not only due to their tremendous potential applications in nonlinear optics, catalysis, gas absorption, luminescence, magnetism and biomedicine (Evans et al., 2002; Lee et al., 2009; Chen et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2007; Horcajada et al., 2012), but also due to their intriguing variety of architectures and topologies (Batten & Robson, 1998; Eddaoudi et al., 2001; Yang et al., 2008). Self-assembly of inorganic metal atoms and organic ligands is one of the most efficient and widely utilized approaches towards the construction of MOFs under hydro(solvo)thermal technique (Hagrman et al., 1999; Hsu et al., 2008). In the last decade, a variety of aromatic polycarboxylates have been widely adopted by the researchers to construct metal–organic frameworks owing to their flexible coordination modes and sensitivity to pH values of the carboxylate groups. For example, Yaghi and co-workers have reported many stable highly porous functionalized open networks based on aromatic polycarboxylates (Britt et al., 2008; Furukawa et al.., 2010). The selection of a ligand is extremely important because changing its geometry can control the structure and topology of the resulting coordination framework. For instance, a simple change in the substitution on the polycarboxylate sometimes can dramatically change the structure and topology of the final MOFs (Huang et al., 2009). It was reported that when benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate (m-H2BDC) was employed to assemble with MnII under the solvothermal conditions, a three-dimensional MOF, Mn4(m-BDC)4(µ2-DMF)2.2DMF (DMF is dimethylformamide), which exhibits a four-connected sra topological network with a point symbol 42638 constructed by uninodal tetrahedral nodes, can be obtained. This is the Al net of the common structure type of SrAl2 (Rosi et al., 2005). It crystallizes in the triclinic, P1 space group and is comprised of three crystallographically independent MnII atoms and two diverse m-BDC2- anionic ligands (Luo et al., 2008). In this work, we chose MeO-m-H2BDC, a derivative of m-H2BDC, to assemble with MnII under solvothermal conditions to investigate the role of the substitutional group in the structural modulation and topology manipulation. Finally, a very different three-dimensional MnII MOF, [Mn(MeO-m-BDC)(DMF)]n, (I), which exhibits a four-connected pts topological network, was isolated. According to a search in the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.34; Allen, 2002), only one other MeO-m-BDC2--based MnII coordination polymer has been reported to date, namely [Mn(MeO-m-BDC)(bipy)(H2O)].H2O (bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine; Shen, 2009).
Complex (I) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 and the asymmetric unit contains one MeO-m-BDC2- ligand, one MnII atom and one coordinated DMF molecule (Fig. 1). It is worth noting that (I) has the same space group and similar cell parameters to [Mn(NH2-m-BDC)(DMF)]n (NH2-m-H2BDC is 5-aminobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate; Kongshaug & Fjellvåg, 2007). The compounds are isomorphic after carefully compared their structure. The MnII atom in (I) exhibits six-coordination with a distorted octahedral geometry. Four carboxylate O atoms (O4i, O3ii, O2iii and O1iii; see Table 1 for details and symmetry codes) constitute the equatorial plane, while the remaining carboxylate O atom (O1) and the DMF O atom (O6) occupy the apical positions of the octahedron (Fig. 2). The Mn1—O bond lengths, apart from Mn1—O1iii, vary from 2.112 (2) to 2.210 (2) Å, which are consistent with previously reported results (Perlepes et al., 1991; Yano et al., 1997; Eppley et al., 1995). The Mn1—O1iii bond is a little long [2.583 (2) Å], which can be regarded as a semicoordination mode (Dey et al. 2012). The MnII atom and its symmetry-related counterparts are doubly bridged by the carboxylate groups of the MeO-m-BDC2- ligands to form an infinite chain of MnO6 polyhedra. The Mn···Mn distance within the chain is 3.8238 (16) Å. Each of the infinite chains is connected to four adjacent chains by the ring system of the MeO-m-BDC2- ligands, forming the final three-dimensional network. The MeO-m-BDC2- ligands in this three-dimensional network adopt a µ4 coordination mode and the network contains one-dimensional channels when viewed along the a axis; the dimensions of these channels are 9.974 × 9.974 Å (measured between atom centers). The DMF ligands and the methoxy groups of the MeO-m-BDC2- anionic ligands protrude into the channels.
A better insight into the structure of the metal–organic frameworks would be the topological network approach, which has been proved to be an important and essential aspect of the design and analysis of MOF materials (Carlucci et al., 2003; Hill et al., 2005). To understand the structure of (I) more clearly and easily, a topological analysis was conducted using TOPOS4.0. In the present case, each MeO-m-BDC2- ligand bridges four adjacent MnII atoms through its carboxylate O atoms, and each MnII atom is also connected to four MeO-m-BDC2- ligands; thus both the MnII atom and MeO-m-BDC2- ligand can be simplified as four-connected nodes. Therefore, the three-dimensional framework of (I) can be abstracted into a four-connected network with a point symbol 4284 constructed by distorted square-planar vertices and tetrahedral nodes, as shown in Fig. 3. This is the feature of PtS (cooperite) topology in which the Pt atom forms PtS4 rectangles and the S atom forms SPt4 tetrahedra (Blatov et al., 2004; O'Keeffe et al., 2008; Hu et al., 2005). The report of [Mn(NH2-m-BDC)(DMF)]n (Kongshaug & Fjellvåg, 2007) only gave a very simple description of the structure and did not analyze its topological structure. By comparison, when m-H2BDC was substituted by MeO-m-H2BDC to assemble with MnII, the topological structure changed from an sra net to a pts net.
