Reaction of manganese(II) and nickel(II) thiocyanate with 1, 2-bis(4-pyridyl)-ethane (bpa) leads to the formation of literature known compounds of composition M(NCS)2(bpa)2 with M = Mn (1-Mn) and Ni (1-Ni). On heating 1-Mn and 1-Ni transform into new compounds of composition M(NCS)2(bpa) with M = Mn (2-Mn) and Ni (2-Ni). These compounds can also be prepared in solution. In both synthetic routes only microcrystalline powders are obtained with crystals too small for single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Therefore, the structures of both compounds were solved and refined from X-ray powder data. In the crystal structure the transition metal cations are coordinated by two bpa co-ligands and four thiocyanato anions within slightly distorted octahedra. The metal cations are linked by μ-1, 3-bridging thiocyanato anions into chains, that are further connected into layers by the bpa ligands. Magnetic measurements on 2-Ni shows only Curie-Weiss paramagnetism. In contrast, for 2-Mn an antiferromagnetic ordering is observed but on further cooling the susceptibility curves increase indicating for canted antiferromagnetism. Further measurements prove that the increase at lower temperatures can be traced back to a small contamination with 1-Mn, which is always present independent if this compound is prepared by thermal decomposition or by crystallization from solution. In the course of the crystallization experiments a few single crystals of two additional compounds of composition Mn(NCS)2(bpa)(H2O)2 (3-Mn) and Mn(NCS)22(bpa)3(CH3OH)2 (4-Mn) were accidently obtained and characterized by single crystal structure analysis. The results of the magnetic measurements are compared with those for related compounds with different neutral N-donor ligands.
