A novel metal-organic framework, MnCl2(BIPS)2•2CH3OH•2H2O (1) were synthesized from MnCl2 and a tetrahedral silicon-cored ligand, Me2Si(p-C6H4-imdazol-1-yl)2 (BIPS) under the slow diffusion method. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a 2D sheet structure constructed from 1D chains with 34-atom metallamacrocycles.
