Mean field expressions based on the simple Heisenberg model were derived to correlate the intra- and interlayer exchange couplings to the critical temperatures, Tc, for three metallocyanide-based magnets with extended 2- and 3-D structure types. These expressions were used to estimate the exchange coupling, J, for 2-D ferrimagnetic [NEt4]2MnII3(CN)8, 3-D antiferromagnetic [NEt4]MnII3(CN)7, and 3-D antiferromagnetic interpenetrating 3-D MnII(CN)2. The type and magnitude of the exchange coupling are in accord with the previously reported magnetic data.
