The synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic studies are reported for a two-dimensional network of mixed-valent {Mn6} cages. The compound contains three different bridging ligands: pivalate, phenylphosphonate and partially deprotonated triethanolamine. The result of using three bridging ligands is a complex structure involving a {MnIII2MnII4} edge-sharing bitetrahedron that interlinks, forming a layered structure. Weak intercage interactions lead to a remarkably complicated magnetic behaviour, with a phase transition at 2.1 K leading to a canted antiferromagnetic state.
