Diaquabis(vanillinato-²O,O')manganese(II)

J. Gao and Y. Liu

Abstract: In the title complex, [Mn(C₈H₇O₃)₂(H₂O)₂], the Mn^II atom is located on a twofold axis and is coordinated by two vanillinate anions and two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The vanillinate ligand chelates to the Mn^II atom through its methoxy and hydroxy O atoms, with greatly differing Mn-O bond distances [2.3506 (14) and 2.0901 (12) Å].
