The conversion from a [2 + 2] nested double-helical column, {[Mn2(ptptp)(suc)(H2O)2]·1.5H2O}n (1), to cationic spiral staircase, {[Mn2(ptptp)(suc)0.5(H2O)3]·Br·0.5H2O}n (2), has been achieved through ionic liquid anion stimulations under solvothermal conditions. does not change the antiferromagnetic interactions.
