The first bromonicotinato-coordinated metal-organic polymer featuring covalent 2-D layer alternately sandwiched by 1-D intra-hydrogen bonding networks

A unique 2-D coordination network sandwiched by alternating 1-D intra-hydrogen bonding networks has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique and thermal analysis. [(H2O)Mn(BN)2] (BN = bromonicotinato) crystallized in monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a=10.385(1), b=10.151(1) and c=7.156(1) Å, β=98.119(1)°, Z=2.
