The Mn（Ⅱ） is six-coordinated by two water molecules, two N atoms from bipy and two carboxylate O atoms from two L^2- to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Each L^2- ligand serves as a bridging ligand to link two Mn（Ⅱ） atoms, leading to a single-strand zigzag coordination polymer. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent chains as well as π-π stacking interactions extend the complex into a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.

Synthesis of amorphous manganese borohydride in the(NaBH_4–MnCl_2) system, its hydrogen generation properties and crystalline transformation during solvent extraction

The mixture of(2NaBH4+ MnCl2) was ball milled in a magneto-mill. No gas release was detected. The XRD patterns of the ball milled mixture exhibit only the Bragg diffraction peaks of the Na Cl-type salt which on the basis of the present X-ray diffraction results and the literature is likely to be a solid solution Na(Cl)x(BH4)(1-x), possessing a cubic Na Cl-type crystalline structure. No presence of any crystalline hydride was detected by powder X-ray diffraction which clearly shows that NaBH4in the initial mixture must have reacted with MnCl2forming a Na Cl-type by-product and another hydride that does not exhibit X-ray Bragg diffraction peaks. Mass spectrometry(MS) of gas released from the ball milled mixture during combined MS/thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)/differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) experiments, confirms mainly hydrogen(H2) with a small quantity of diborane gas, B2H6. The Fourier transform infra-red(FT-IR) spectrum of the ball milled(2NaBH4+ MnCl2) is quite similar to the FT-IR spectrum of crystalline manganese borohydride, c-Mn(BH4)2, synthesized by ball milling, which strongly suggests that the amorphous hydride mechano-chemically synthesized during ball milling could be an amorphous manganese borohydride. Remarkably, the process of solvent filtration and extraction at 42 °C, resulted in the transformation of mechano-chemically synthesized amorphous manganese borohydride to a nanostructured,crystalline, c-Mn(BH4)2hydride.
