Bis[tris(1,3-diaminopropane)manganese(II)] octasulfidotetraantimonate(III) dihydrate

L. Engelke and W. Bensch

Abstract: Yellow crystals of [Mn(pn)₃]₂[Sb₄S₈]·2H₂O (pn = 1,2-diaminopropane) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions by reacting elemental Mn, Sb and S in an aqueous solution of 1,2-diaminopropane. The structure is composed of cyclic [Sb₄S₈]^4- anions and octahedral [Mn(pn)₃]²⁺ cations, both stacked in a rod-like manner along the a axis. The anion sits on a centre of symmetry. Between the anions and the cations there is an extended hydrogen-bonding network.
