In the title compound, [Mn(C5H7O2)2(C12H16N3O2)], the manganese(II) cation (site symmetry ) is hexacoordinated by four O and two N atoms in a distorted trans-MnN2O4 octahedral geometry. The four O atoms belonging to two 2,4-pentanedionate anions lie in the equatorial plane and the two N atoms occupy the axial coordination sites.

A mixture of manganese(II) acetylacetonate (1 mmol) and 2-(4-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (1 mmol) in 20 ml methanol was refluxed for several hours. The above cooled solution was filtered and the filtrate was kept in an ice box. One week later, brown blocks of (I) were obtained with a yield of ca 3%. Anal. Calc. for C34H46N6MnO8: C 56.48, H 6.31, N 11.55%; Found: C 56.53, H 6.37, N 11.64%.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

To design different kinds of metal-based coordination architectures with appropriate organic radicals and co-ligands has been an important subject during the last decade because of its potential usages for molecule-based magnetic materials and optical devices. Varying the organic units, such as tridentate nitronyl nitroxide radical, and bidentate nitroxide radical could results in a large number of building blocks with the potentional applications. In this paper, we report the structure of the title compound, (I).
As shown in Fig. 1, the manganese(II) cation is hexacoordinated with four O and two N atoms showing a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Mn(II) cation lies on an inversion centre. The four oxygen atoms belonging to two 2,4-pentanedionate lie in the equatorial plane and the two nitrogen atoms lie in the axial coordination sites (Table 1).
