Diaqua(trifluoroacetato-²O,O')[2,4,6-tri-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine-³N²,N¹,N⁶]manganese(II) trifluoroacetate

K. M. Lo and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The Mn^II atom in the two independent ion-pairs of the title salt, [Mn(C₂F₃O₂)(C₁₈H₁₂N₆)(H₂O)₂]C₂F₃O₂, is N,N',N''-chelated by the neutral N-heterocycle and O,O'-chelated by the carboxylate ion, the five atoms involved in chelation comprising a pentagon around it. The apical sites of the trans-pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry are occupied by two water molecules. The cations and lattice anions are linked by O-HO and O-HN hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
