Dichlorido(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)manganese(II) hemihydrate

X. Wang

Abstract: In the title compound, [MnCl₂(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)]·0.5H₂O, all of the non-H atoms apart from the Cl atom lie on a mirror plane and the methyl H atoms are disordered over two sites of equal occupancy about the mirror plane. The Mn^II ion is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral environment by two N atoms of the phenanthroline ligand and two chloride ions. A half-occupancy solvent water molecule lies on a mirror plane and close to an inversion center.
