Abstract top

The reported structure is a monoclinic polymorph of the title compound, [Mn2(C16H14N2O2)2(NCS)2], which has been characterized previously in an orthorhombic form. Each MnIII atom is chelated by a tetradentate 2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolate ligand and by the N atom of a thiocyanate anion, in a square-pyramidal arrangement. The complexes form centrosymmetric dimers, with an Mn-O contact of 2.557 (3) Å trans to each thiocyanate anion, completing a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.

Comment top

As shown in Fig. 1, the Mn atom is chelated by two N and two O atoms of the N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneamine) ligand and by the N atom of the thiocyanate anion in the apical site. The Mn—N and Mn—O bond lengths are in the range of 1.979 (4)–2.181 (5) and 1.874 (3)–1.902 (3) %A, respectively (Table 1).

Experimental top

A mixture of manganese(III) acetate (1 mmol) and N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine (1 mmol) in 20 ml me thanol was refluxed for several hours. The solution was then cooled and filtered, and the filtrate was left to evaporate at room temperature. Pink blocks of the title compound were obtained after 2 days with a yield of 12%. Elemental analysis calculated: C 53.72, H 3.67, N 5.49%; found: C 53.78, H 3.69, N 5.54%.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). The phenyl rings were constrained to have regular hexagonal geometry.

Special details top

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.
