This paper reports the synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic characterization of [Mn2Cl(BIP) (HBIMAM)(H2O)5]Cl3路4H2O a novel dinuclear manganese(II) incorporating two related bis(imidazolyl)-based ligands, BIP (3,3-di(2-1H-2-imidazolyl)propanoate) and BIMAM (N-methyldi(1H-2-imidazolyl)methanamine). The metal atoms in the dinuclear entity are bridged by a 渭2-畏1:畏1 carboxylate group (from the propionate arm of the BIP ligand) acting in an anti-anti coordination bridging mode, with an intramolecular Mn鈰疢n distance of 6.47 脜. The coordination around the Mn(II) ions shows a distorted octahedral geometry for both MnClN2O3 and MnN2O4 chromophores. Between the imidazole rings of neighbouring dinuclear units there significant aromatic-aromatic interactions. The propagation of these interactions generates chains of 蟺-stacked dinuclear units, roughly running along the [1 0 0] direction. Magnetic susceptibility measurements in the range 2-300 K show weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions which were analysed by means of the isotropic S1 = S2 = 5/2 spin-coupled dimer model . Finally, the observed magnetic behavior (2J = 鈭?.38(1) cm鈭?) is compared with that observed in related manganese(II) compounds with single [Mn(渭2-畏1:畏1-carboxylato)Mn] core.
