Bis(4-carboxybenzenesulfonato)bis(1,10-phenanthroline)manganese(II)

L.-P. Zhang, L.-G. Zhu and H.-P. Xiao

Abstract: The mononuclear title compound, [Mn(C₇H₅O₅S)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂], was obtained as a second crop of crystals from the hydrothermal reaction of manganese sulfate, potassium hydrogen 4-carboxybenzenesulfonate and 1,10-phenanthroline. The coordination geometry of the Mn^II atom is octahedral; each 4-carboxybenzenesulfonate anion retains a proton on the carboxyl group as each coordinates to the metal atom through only one sulfonyl O atom. Intermolecular - interactions and hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure.
