In the title compound, [Mn(C12H9O2)2(C7H6N2)2]·H2O, the MnII ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and six-coordinated, displaying a distorted MnN2O4 octahedral geometry. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which give rise to a one-dimensional structure along [001], and π–π interactions between the imidazole rings and between the benzene rings of the 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate ligands [centroid–centroid distances = 3.761 (3) and 3.728 (4) Å]. The contribution of the electron density associated with the disordered water molecules was not considerd in the final structure model.

The title compound was synthesized by the reaction of Mn(NO3)2.4H2O (75 mg, 0.3 mmol), 1-naphthylacetic acid (93 mg, 0.5 mmol), benzimidazole (35.4 mg, 0.3 mmol) and NaOH (20 mg, 0.5 mmol) in 16 ml of water/ethanol (v/v 2:1) under solvothermal conditions. The mixture was homogenized and transferred into a sealed Teflon-lined solvothermal bomb (volume: 25 ml) and heated to 160°C for three days. After cooling, colorless crystals of the title compound were obtained, which were washed with distilled water and absolute ethanol (yield: 46.3% based on Mn).
H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding atoms, with N—H = 0.86, C—H = 0.93 (CH) and 0.97 (CH2) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N). The structure contains one disordered solvent water molecules, which could not be modeled as discrete atomic sites. We employed the SQUEEZE subroutine in PLATON (Spek, 2009) to remove the water molecules.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

In recent years many interests have been focused on 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate ligand in coordination chemistry due to its ability to form metal complexes (Duan et al., 2007; Ji et al., 2011; Tang et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2008; Yin et al., 2011). The crystal structure of the title compound was determined as part of an ongoing study of the properties of manganese complexes containing benzimidazole ligands.
In the title mononuclear complex (Fig. 1), the MnII ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and six-coordinated by two N-donor atoms from two benzimidazoles and four O-donor atoms from two 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate anions, displaying a distorted MnN2O4 octahedral geometry, with Mn—O bond lengths of 2.181 (2) and 2.339 (2) Å and a Mn—N bond length of 2.153 (2) Å. The solvent water molecules could not be modeled as discrete atomic sites. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), which give rise to a one-dimensional structure (Fig. 2). π–π ineractions between the imidazole rings and between the benzene rings of the 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)acetate ligands [centroid–centroid distances = 3.761 (3) and 3.728 (4) Å] are observed. An analogue cadmium(II) complex has been reported previously (Duan et al., 2007).
