2N,N')manganese(II)-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid-water (2/1/4)Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [MnCl2(C12H8N2)2]·0.5C7H6O4·2H2O, the MnII complex assumes a distorted octahedral geometry formed by two chloride anions and two phenanthroline (phen) ligands. The 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid molecule is disordered about an inversion center. The face-to-face separations of 3.540 (11) and 3.429 (8) Å between parallel phen ligands indicate the existence of ![[pi]](/logos/entities/pi_rmgif.gif)
- stacking between adjacent MnII complexes. Uncoordinated water molecules are linked with complex and dihydroxybenzoic acid molecules via O-H
Cl and O-HO hydrogen bonds.
