3-1,2,4-triazolato)manganese(II)]The title compound, [Mn(C2H2N3)Cl]n, has been prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of manganese(II) chloride and 1,2,4-triazole. The MnII cation is surrounded by three N atoms belonging to three different triazolate ligands and a Cl atom, and exhibits a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. A polymeric layer is formed by the triply bridging nature of the 1,2,4-triazolate ligand bonded to three different MnII atoms through its three N atoms. The layer contains both binuclear units and tetranuclear macrocyclic units. In the binuclear unit, two Mn atoms are bridged by two nearly coplanar triazolate groups through the 1,2-positions, affording a six-membered ring around an inversion center. Each binuclear unit is further connected to four parallel units through the other four N atoms of the triazolate groups. Four adjacent units, which are pairwise parallel, afford 16-membered tetranuclear macrocyclic units. In each of these, the two nearest-neighbor Mn atoms are bridged by a single triazolate group through the 1,4-positions.
All chemicals were used as purchased from Shanghai Chemical Co. Ltd. A mixture of manganese(II) sulfate monohydrate (0.5 mmol), potassium hydroxide (0.5 mmol), 1,2,4-triazole (0.5 mmol) and water (8 ml) in a 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave was kept at 413 K for 2 d, and then cooled to room temperature. Pink crystals of (I) were obtained in a yield of 36%. Anal. Calc. for C2H2ClN3Mn: C 15.15, H 1.26, N 26.51%; Found: C 15.12, H 1.27, N 26.55%.
H atoms were placed in calculated positions with a C—H bond distance of 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Hybrid organic-inorganic materials occupy a prominent position by virtue of their applications to catalysis, optical materials, membranes, and sorption (Ngo et al., 2004; Evans et al., 2001; Vioux et al., 2004; Sanchez et al., 2003; Evans & Lin, 2001; Jannasch, 2003; Javaid et al., 2001; Honma et al., 2001; Sudik et al., 2005; Rowsell et al., 2004; Kitaura et al., 2002). The design of organic-inorganic hybrid materials is conceived of the metal, metal cluster, or metal oxide substructure as a node from which rigid or flexible multitopic organic ligands radiate to act as tethers to adjacent nodes in the bottom-up construction of complex extended architectures. While a variety of organic molecules have been investigated as potential tethers, materials incorporating multitopic carboxylates and pyridine ligands have witnessed the most significant development. However, ligands offering alternative tether lengths, different charge-balance requirements, and orientations of donor groups may afford advantages in the design of materials. One such ligand is 1,2,4-triazole, a member of the polyazaheteroaromatic family of compounds, which exhibit an extensively documented ability to bridge metal ions to afford polynuclear compounds. Triazole is an attractive ligand for the design of novel hybrid materials because of the unusual structural diversity associated with the di- and trinucleating properties of the neutral and anionic ligand forms, respectively. Here, the title complex, (I), obtained from 1,2,4-triazole and manganese(II) chloride under hydrothermal reaction is reported, which is isostructural to previously reported ones (Ouellette et al., 2006; Krober et al., 1995).
The coordination polyhedron of the manganese atom is shown in Fig. 1 and can be described as a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The manganese cation is surrounded by three crystallographically independent nitrogen atoms belonging to three different triazolato ligands, and a chlorine atom. The Mn—N bond lengths are in the range 2.005–2.006 Å, very close to each other. The Mn—C1 bond length is 2.218 Å. The bond angles around the manganese atom are in the range 106.21 to 113.28°. Polymeric layers, as shown in Fig. 2, are formed due to the triply bridging nature of the 1,2,4-triazolato ligand. The 1,2,4-triazolato ligand is simultaneously bonded to three different manganese atoms through its three nitrogen atoms, and its symmetry is very close to C2v. A layer contains both binuclear units and tetranuclear units. In the binuclear unit two manganese atoms are bridged by two nearly coplanar triazolato groups through the 1,2-positions, affording a six-membered ring around an inversion center; the Mn···Mn separation within the binuclear unit is equal to 3.756 Å. The chlorine atoms bonded to the metals of a binuclear unit point out in opposite parallel directions. Each binuclear unit is further connected to four parallel units through the four positions of the triazolato groups. Four adjacent units, which are pairwise parallel, afford sixteen-membered tetranuclear macrocyclic units. In each of these the two nearest-neighbor manganese atoms are bridged by a single triazolate group through the 1,4 positions with Mn···Mn separations of 5.703 and 5.734 Å.
