Abstract

The exploration in two hydro(solvo)thermal reaction systems As/S/Mn(2+)/phen/methylamine aqueous solution and As/S/Mn(2+)/2,2'-bipy/H(2)O affords five new manganese thioarsenates with diverse structures, namely, (CH(3)NH(3)){[Mn(phen)(2)](As(V)S(4))}·phen (1 and 1'), (CH(3)NH(3))(2){[Mn(phen)](2)(As(V)S(4))(2)} (2), {[Mn(phen)(2)](As(III)(2)S(4))}(n) (3), {[Mn(phen)](3)(As(III)S(3))(2)}·H(2)O (4), and {[Mn(2,2'-bipy)(2)](2)(As(V)S(4))}[As(III)S(S(5))] (5). Compound 1 comprises a {[Mn(phen)(2)](As(V)S(4))}(-) complex anion, a monoprotonated methylamine cation and a phen molecule. Compound 2 contains a butterfly like {[Mn(phen)](2)(As(V)S(4))(2)}(2-) anion charge compensated by two monoprotonated methylamine cations. Compound 3 is a neutral chain formed by a helical (1)(∞)(As(III)S(2)(-)) vierer chain covalently bonds to [Mn(II)(phen)](2+) complexes via all its terminal S atoms. Compound 4 features a neutral chain showing the stabilization of noncondensed (As(III)S(3))(3-) anions in the coordination of [Mn(II)(phen)](2+) complex cations. Compound 5 features a mixed-valent As(III)/As(V) character and an interesting chalcogenidometalates structure, where a polycation formed by the connection of two [Mn(2,2'-bipy)(2)](2+) complex cation and a (As(V)S(4))(3-) anion acts as a countercation for a polythioarsenate anion, [As(III)S(S(5))](-). The title compounds exhibit optical gaps in the range 1.58-2.48 eV and blue photoluminescence. Interestingly, compound 1 displays a weak second harmonic generation (SHG) response being about 1/21 times of KTP (KTiOPO(4)). Magnetic measurements show paramagnetic behavior for 1 and dominant antiferromagnetic behavior for 2-5. Of particular interest is 4, which is the first manganese chalcogenide showing spin-canting characteristic.
