Diaqua[N,N'-bis(salicylidene)propanediamine(2-)]manganese(III) chloride

I.-C. Hwang and K. Ha

Abstract: The title compound (systematic name: diaqua{2,2'-[propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}manganese(III) chloride), [Mn(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(H₂O)₂]Cl, consists of an Mn^III cation complex and a counter-anion. In the complex, the Mn³⁺ ion is six-coordinated by the dianion of the tetradentate ligand N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane and two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The molecules are assembled through intermolecular O-HCl and O-HO hydrogen bonds and - interactions [the centroid-centroid distance is 3.865 Å and the dihedral angle between the ring planes is 12.9°] along the a axis.
