Hexaaquamanganese(II) 3-carboxy-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate dihydrate

J.-F. Ma, J. Yang and J.-F. Liu

Abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(H₂O)₆]L₂·2H₂O, where HL is 3-carboxy-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid (C₇H₆O₆S), each Mn^II cation lies on an inversion center and is octahedrally coordinated by six water molecules. The L^- anions do not coordinate to manganese, but act as counter-anions. The crystal structure is composed of alternating layers of [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations and sulfonate anions. The [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations, water molecules and L^- anions are connected through a complex pattern of H-bonding interactions.
