3O,N,O'}manganese(IV) methanol hemisolvate monohydrateIn the title compound, [Mn(C9H7Br2NO2)2]·0.5CH4O·H2O, the MnIV atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two N and four O atoms from two different tridentate 2,4-dibromo-6-[(2-oxidoethylimino)methyl]phenolate ligands. In the crystal structure, the methanol solvent molecule is disordered over two positions with equal occupancies. The crystal packing reveals a three-dimensional network generated by short Br
Br interactions [Br
Br = 3.555 (5)-3.742 (5) Å], and O-H
O and O-H
Br hydrogen bonds.
A solution of 2-amino-ethanol (0.061 g, 1 mmol) and caustic potash (0.112 g, 2 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added slowly to a solution of 3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1 mmol, 0.280 g) in methanol (20 ml). The mixture was stirred for 1 h at 323 K, then added slowly to a solution of MnCl2 (2 mmol, 0.396 g) in methanol (10 ml). This mixture was stirred and refluxed for 2 h at 323 K. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was left to stand at room temperature. Deep purple suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained in a yield of 38% (based on manganese).
H atoms of the water molecule were located in a difference Fourier map. The O—H distances were normalized to 0.85 Å and the H atoms were allowed to ride on the O atom, with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). All other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with C–H distances of 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(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. |

Interest on packing arrangements of halogenated compounds goes back many years to what Schmidt called the 'chloro effect', where the presence of chloro substituents on aromatic compounds frequently results in stacking arrangements with a short (ca 4 Å) crystallographic axis (Cohen et al., 1964; Zordan et al., 2005; Desiraju, 1989). The title compound, (I), contains the dibrominated ligand L− with two Br atoms accessible at the periphery of each ligand.
In (I) the MnIV atom is coordinated by two N and four O atoms from two different tridentate ligands L2− forming a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1 and Table 1). The shortest Br···Br contacts (Zordan et al., 2005; Zaman et al., 2004; Sarma & Desiraju, 1986) are Br3i···Br3ii = 3.555 (5) Å, Br3i···Br4iii = 3.742 (5) Å, and Br4i···Br2iv = 3.631 (5) Å, [symmetry codes: (i) 1/2 − x, −1/2 − y, z; (ii) x, −1 + y, z; (iii) 1/4 + x,-1/4 − y, −1/4 + z; (iv) 1/4 − x, −3/4 − y, 1/4 + z]. The molecules of (I) are connected into a 3-D network through short Br···Br interactions, very strong O–H···O hydrogen bond and O–H···Br hydrogen bond (Table 2 and Fig. 2).
