Perchlorato[N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine]manganese(II) perchlorate

I.-C. Hwang and K. Ha

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(ClO₄)(C₃₀H₃₄N₆)]ClO₄, consists of a cationic [Mn(ClO₄)(C₃₀H₃₄N₆)]⁺ complex and a perchlorate anion. In the complex, the Mn²⁺ ion is seven-coordinated in an approximately pentagonal-bipyramidal environment by six N atoms from the hexadentate N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine (tpdach) ligand and one O atom from a perchlorate anion. The complex displays intermolecular - interactions between adjacent pyridine rings (centroid-to-centroid distance 4.133 Å). Moreover, there are weak intra- and intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds. The Cl atom and two O atoms of the perchlorate are disordered, with a site-occupancy factor of 0.59 (2) for the major component.
