yano-bridged complexes Ln(DMF)(4)(H2O)(2)Mn(CN)(6) . H2O (TbMn, DyMn and Er
Mn, respectively) were prepared and their magnetochemical properties were s
tudied in detail. A weak antiferromagnetic interaction was found to exist b
etween the rare earth ions and the manganese ion. Er(DMF)(4)(H2O)(2)Mn(CN)(
