The complete mol­ecule of the title compound, [MnCl2(C18H10N4)2], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry with the Mn atom lying on the rotation axis. The Mn coordination geometry is a distorted cis-MnCl2N4 octa­hedron, arising from two N,N′-bidentate dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (DPPZ) ligands and two chloride ions. In the crystal structure, neighbouring mononuclear units pack together through ππ contacts between the DPPZ rings [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.480 (2) Å], leading to a chain-like structure along [001]. C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds complete the structure.

Comment top

1,10-Phenanthroline (phen) and its derivatives, as chelating N-containing aromatic ligands, has been extensively studied in the chemistry of coordination polymers (Che et al., 2008). Here, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(DPPZ)2Cl2] or [Mn(C18H10N4)2Cl2] (I), based on the dipyrido[3,2 - a:2',3'-c]-phenazine (DPPZ) ligand (Xu et al., 2008).

In compound (I), the Mn atom (site symmetry 2) is coordinated in a distorted octahedral fashion (Fig. 1) by four N atoms from two DPPZ ligands and two Cl ions (Table 1). The DPPZ ring systems is almost planar and the dihedral angle between the two symmetry-related DPPZ planes is 70.66°.

π-π stacking interactions between the DPPZ ligands assemble mononuclear complex molecules into one-dimensional chains along (001) [centroid-centroid distances = 3.480 (2) Å] (Fig. 2). Finally, C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds involving the hydrogen of aromatic rings and the Cl ions further stabilize the crystal structure (Table 2).

Experimental top

The DPPZ ligand was synthesized according to the literature method of Che et al. (2006). A mixture of DPPZ, MnCl2 and water in a molar ratio of 2:1:5000 was sealed in a Teflon-lined autoclave and heated to 423 K for 3 d. Upon cooling and opening the bomb, yellow blocks of (I) were obtained (81% yield based on Mn).

Refinement top

The H atoms were located in a difference map and their positions were freely refined with a fixed Uiso value of 0.06Å2.

Special details top

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.
