Abstract:
The title salt, diaquatetra-manganese(II) oxalate bis[ortho-phos-phate(V)], Mn(4)(C(2)O(4))(PO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2), was synthesized hydro-thermally and displays a three-dimensional framework structure. The asymmetric unit consists of two different Mn(II) centers, half of an oxalate anion, a phosphate group and a coordinated water mol-ecule. A crystallographic inversion center is located at the mid-point of the oxalate C-C bond. The distorted octa-hedral MnO(6) and the tetra-gonal pyramidal MnO(5) centers are linked through bridging oxalate and phosphate groups. The water mol-ecule also has a weaker bonding contact to the five-coordinate Mn atom, which consequently exhibits a distorted octa-hedral geometry and also bridges the independent Mn atoms. The water mol-ecule is a donor for intra- and inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
