In this work, the rod-like ligand 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-benzene (bib) has been utilized as a building block to perform counterion researches on the structural diversities of coordination polymers. A series of new manganese compounds, ([Mn(bib){sub 3}(ClO{sub 4}){sub 2}](CHCl{sub 3}){sub 2}){sub n} (1), [Mn(bib){sub 2}(N{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sub n} (2), [Mn(bib){sub 2}(HCO{sub 2}){sub 2}]{sub n} (3), [Mn(bib){sub 2}(Ac){sub 2}]{sub n} (4), ([Mn(bib){sub 2}(CF{sub 3}SO{sub 3}){sub 2}](CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}){sub 4}){sub n} (5), and [Mn(bib){sub 2}(SO{sub 4})]{sub n} (6) have been successfully synthesized. Compound 1 shows a 3D interpenetrating α-Po network only based on the bib linker. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibit a 2D (4,4) layer with parallel and incline interpenetration, respectively. Compounds 4 and 5 display a parallel-packing 2D (4,4) layer with the porosity of 23.4% and 61.4%, respectively. Compound 6 furnishes a 3D α-Po framework with a 2D (4,4) layer pillared by the μ{sub 2}-SO{sub 4}{sup 2−} ion. The structural diversities among 1–6 have been carefully discussed, and the roles of counterions (from coordination affinity and molecular size) in the self-assembly of coordination polymers have also been well documented. Furthermore, magnetic properties of 6 have been carefully studied. - Graphical abstract: Six new compounds have been successfully synthesized. Structural studies reveal that the topology, entanglement and porosity are tunable by the counterion. Furthermore, the weak ferromagnetic coupling is conducted in 6. - Highlights: • Six new Mn{sup II} compounds have been synthesized. • Compounds 1–3 exhibit diverse interpenetrating frameworks. • Compounds 4 and 5 exhibit 3D packing porous architectures. • The tunable effect of counterion has been documented. • Magnetic properties of 6 have been studied by fitting the data.
