n (M = Co
2+ (
1b), Mn
2+ (
1c)) are isomorphous to
1a. For
1a-
c, crystalstructures consist of uncoordinated guest water molecules and one-dimensional zigzag[M(CA)(H
2O)
2]
k chains. Two water molecules occupying cis positions and two chloranilatefilling the remaining sites in a bis bidentate fashion create the octahedral environmentaround the metal ion to form a zigzag chain (type I), which extends along the diagonalbetween the
a and
c axes. The adjacent chains are interlinked by hydrogen bonds, thusforming layers, which spread out along the
ac plane. Water molecules are intercalatedbetween the {[M(CA)(H
2O)
2]
k}
l layers. The intercalation mode of the water molecules isdifferent from those in {[M(CA)(H

n (M = Fe
2+ (
2a), Co
2+ (
2b), Mn
2+ (
2c)), whichare isomorphous each other. The crystal structures of
2a-
c consist of uncoordinatedphenazine molecules and straight [M(CA)(H
2O)
2]
k chains (type II). Infinite, nearly coplanarlinear chains are formed by metal ions and the bis-chelating CA
2- anions, which extendalong the
a direction, and are linked by hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water andthe oxygen atoms of the CA
2- on the adjacent chains, forming a two-dimensional sheet, whichspreads out along the
ac plane. The intercalated phenazines are stacked along the
c axisperpendicular to the [M(CA)(H
2O)
2]
k chain, and the planes of the phenazine molecules aretilted to the stacking direction, forming a segregated columnar structure between the{[M(CA)(H
2O)
2]
k}
l layers. The
57Fe Mössbauer spectra of
1a and
2a consist of a singlequadrupole doublet with
IS = 1.16 mm/s (
1a), 1.16 mm/s (
2a) and
QS = 2.53 mm/s (
1a),1.46 mm/s (
2a) at 298 K, indicating that the oxidation state of the iron in both complexes istwo. The magnetic susceptibilities were measured from 2 to 300 K and analyzed by a one-dimensional Heisenberg-exchange model to yield
