(2,2'-Bipyridyl-²N,N')tetrakis(4-methylbenzoato-O)manganese(II)

W.-D. Song, H. Wang and D.-Y. Ma

Abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Mn(C₈H₇O₂)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)], the Mn^II atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry defined by four O atoms from four 4-methylbenzoate ligands and two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions [the centroid-centroid distance between the parallel pyridyl ring of a 2,2'-bipyridyl and benzene ring of a 4-methylbenzoic group of a neighboring complex is 3.839 (2) Å].
