Diaquabis(2,5-di-3-pyridyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole)dithiocyanatomanganese(II): a three-dimensional supramolecular network formed through O-HN and C-HS interactions

M. Du, X.-J. Jiang and X.-J. Zhao

Abstract: The molecular structure of the neutral mononuclear title complex, [Mn(NCS)₂(C₁₂H₈N₄O)₂(H₂O)₂], is centrosymmetric; the Mn^II atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinate (MnN₄O₂), with an octahedral geometry comprising two trans monodentate 2,5-di-3-pyridyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole ligands, two thiocyanate ligands and two bound water molecules. Intermolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds between these monomeric units result in two-dimensional supramolecular layers with a parallel arrangement, which are stabilized by intralayer aromatic stacking and further extended to a three-dimensional network via interlayer weak C-HS interactions.
