Abstract

(Tm5(Mn2C3)3)2Mn crystallizes in the cubic I-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two manganese molecules and one Tm5(Mn2C3)3 framework. In the Tm5(Mn2C3)3 framework, there are two inequivalent Tm3+ sites. In the first Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to eight C+3.11- atoms to form distorted TmC8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent TmC8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent TmC6 pentagonal pyramids, and faces with four equivalent TmC8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (2.43 Å) and four longer (2.59 Å) Tm–C bond lengths. In the second Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to six equivalent C+3.11- atoms to form distorted TmC6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent TmC6 pentagonal pyramids and edges with six equivalent TmC8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are three shorter (2.55 Å) and three longer (2.61 Å) Tm–C bond lengths. Mn2+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three C+3.11- atoms. There is two shorter (1.86 Å) and one longer (2.05 Å) Mn–C bond length. There are two inequivalent C+3.11- sites. In the first C+3.11- site, C+3.11- is bonded to four Tm3+ and two equivalent Mn2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CTm4Mn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–68°. In the second C+3.11- site, C+3.11- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm3+, two equivalent Mn2+, and one C+3.11- atom. The C–C bond length is 1.38 Å.
