Tetraethylammonium hexacyanidoferrate(III) bis(diaqua{6,6'-dimethoxy-2,2'-[o-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}manganese(III))-methanol-ethanol (1/2/2)

Abstract: In the title compound, (C₈H₂₀N)[Mn(C₂₂H₁₈N₂O₄)(H₂O)₂][Fe(CN)₆]·2CH₃OH·2C₂H₅OH or [NEt₄][Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H₂O)₂]₂[Fe(CN)₆]·2CH₃OH·2C₂H₅OH, the asymmetric unit consists of one half of an [NEt₄]⁺ cation disordered around a twofold axis, the [Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H₂O)₂]⁺ coordination cation, one half of a C₂ symmetric [Fe(CN)₆]^3- anion and disordered methanol and ethanol solvent molecules that are equally populated at two different sites. The Mn^III atom chelated by the 3-Meosalophen ligand adopts a slightly distorted MnN₂O₄ octahedral geometry with the coordination completed by two water molecules. The [Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H₂O)₂]⁺ cations, [Fe(CN)₆]^3- anions and solvent molecules are connected into a zigzag chain through hydrogen-bonding interactions.
