-6,6'-dihydroxy-3,3'-diazenediyldibenzoato-
2O:O']In the title compound, [Mn(C14H8N2O6)(H2O)4]n, each 6,6'-dihydroxy-3,3'-diazenediyldibenzoate ligand acts as a carboxylate bridge, leading to the formation of polymeric chains running in the [110] direction. The Mn atom is hexacoordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by six O atoms from two ligands and four water molecules [Mn-O = 2.1379 (16)-2.2082 (15) Å]. The crystal packing is stabilized by

interactions [centroid-to-centroid distances 3.830 (16) and 4.476 (17) Å] and intermolecular O-H
O and O-H
N hydrogen bonds.
MnCl2 was acquired from Aldrich, and 3,3-azo-bis(6-hydroxybenzoic acid) was synthesized according to the literature (Riordan & Blair, 1979). To a solution of 3,3-azo-bis(6-hydroxybenzoic acid) (301 mg, 1 mmol) in water (60 ml) and sodium hydroxide (1 M, 2 ml), MnCl2 (349 mg, 1 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 373 K for 12 h and then filtered. Single-crystals were grown from the filtrate after six weeks (Tang et al., 2007), then moved to a box with UV light (365 nm)- illumination in room temperature. The orange crystals turned to deep red crystals about two weeks later. We collected and separated them carefully, then dried in a desiccator. The yield reaches 92 percent based on the orange crystals. Compound (I) is stable in air and insoluble in water.
The hydroxy and C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated postions (C—H = 0.93 Å, O—H = 0.82 Å) and included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,O). The water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and isotropically refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.85 (1) Å and H···H = 1.39 (1) Å.

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. |

Olsalazine − 3,3-azo-bis(6-hydroxybenzoic acid) - has been widely used to prevent and treat the inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis (Klotz, 2005). Recently, we have successfully synthesized a serial of Zn (Tang, Tan, Chen & Cao, 2007), Cd and Co (Tang, Yang et al., 2007) complexes with olsalazine as building block. Also, we have reported a Mn complex of olsalazine crystallized in chiral group P4(3)2(1)2 (Tang, Tan & Cao, 2007), however in the condition of UV light- illumination with wavenumber 365 nm, to our surprise, we found the colour of the crystals turn from orange to deep red after two weeks. The further investigation by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis revealed that the space group change from P4(3)2(1)2 to P2(1)/c. Here we reported the new crystal structure of the title compound, (I)− a new Manganese complex of olsalazine.
In (I) (Fig. 1), the Mn atom is hexacoordinated (Fig. 1) by two O atoms from two L ligands (H2L = 3,3-azo-bis(6-hydroxybenzoic acid)) and four water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry (Table 1). Two ligands are cis to each other in an octahedral environment. Each ligand L acts as a carboxylate bridge, that leads to formation of polymeric chain running in the direction [110]. Two neighbouring polymeric chains are paired by π···π interactions between the aromatic rings - the distances Cg1···Cg1i and Cg2···Cg2i are 3.830 (16) and 4.476 (17) Å, respectively [Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of C3/C8/C10/C6/C12/C9 and C1/C2/C7/C13/C11/C5 rings, respectively; symmetry code: (i) 1 − x,-y,- -z; (ii) -x,-1 − y,- -z]. The crystal packing is further stabilized by the intermolecular O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 2).
