The reaction of Mn(NCS)2 with a stoichiometric amount of 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine in ethanol led to the formation of the title compound, [Mn(NCS)2(C6H8N2)2]n, which is isotypic to its Zn, Co and Cd analogues. The manganese cation is located on a centre of inversion and is octahedrally coordinated in an all-trans configuration by two terminal N-bonded thiocyanate anions as well as four 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine co-ligands, of which two coordinate with the pyridine N atom and two with the amino N atom. The 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine co-ligands connect the MnII cations into layers extending parallel to (10). These layers are further connected into a three-dimensional network by relatively strong intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonding. Comparison of the experimental X-ray powder diffraction pattern with the calculated pattern on the basis of single-crystal data proves the formation of a pure crystalline phase. IR measurements showed the CN stretching vibration of the thiocyanate anions at 2067 cm−1, which is in agreement with the presence of terminally N-bonded anionic ligands. TG–DTA measurements revealed that the title compound decomposes at about 500 K.

1. Chemical context
In contrast to other small-sized ligands such as azide or cyanide anions, thiocyanate anions show many more coordination modes. Therefore, a variety of structures including discrete complexes (Prananto et al., 2017; Małecki et al., 2011; Wöhlert et al., 2014), dimers (Mautner et al., 2015; Wei & Luo, 2010; Jochim et al., 2018), chains (Mautner et al., 2018; Rams et al., 2020), layers (Suckert et al., 2016, 2017) or in very rare cases three-dimensional networks (Suckert et al., 2017) can be observed. This structural variability is further enhanced by because for an octahedral coordination with three pairs of identical ligands, five different isomers exist, including the all-trans, all-cis and three different cis-cis-trans configurations. These features are found in compounds with structures where the metal cations are linked by pairs of anionic ligands into chains. The majority of compounds with μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions shows this behaviour. Depending on the actual metal coordination (all-trans or cis-cis-trans), linear or corrugated chains are observed (Jin et al., 2007; Rams et al., 2017; Böhme et al., 2020; Jochim et al., 2020). Moreover, even for compounds with layered thiocyanate structures, different networks are realized, in which the metal cations are linked exclusively by single anionic ligands or by both singly and doubly μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions. For less chalcophilic metal cations like MnII, FeII, CoII or NiII, the majority of compounds consist of structures with only terminally N-bonding thiocyanate anions, because in this case this coordination is energetically favoured. With only mono-coordinating ligands this usually leads to the formation of discrete metal complexes with an octahedral coordination. If bridging co-ligands are used, chain structures can be realized and networks of higher dimensionality are available if additional μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions are present.
Thiocyanate coordination polymers are of interest not only because of their variable structural behaviour, but also because this ligand is able to mediate reasonable magnetic exchange. We and other groups have reported many new compounds in which the metal cations are linked by μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions into chains or layers (Werner et al., 2015; Bassey et al., 2020; Mekuimemba et al., 2018; Palion-Gazda et al., 2015; Neumann et al., 2019; Mousavi et al., 2020). In this context, we became interested in 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine, because this ligand is able to link metal cations via the pyridine and the amino N atom. Surprisingly, with CoII we always obtained only one crystalline phase in which the CoII cations are coordinated by only terminally N-bonding thiocyanate anions but linked into layers by the 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine co-ligands (Krebs et al., 2021). In contrast to the CoII cation, the MnII cation is more chalcophilic and usually behaves like CdII, for which compounds with μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions are much easier to obtain. Therefore, we used Mn(NCS)2 in the present study. However, irrespective of the ratio between Mn(NCS)2 and 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine, we always obtained only one crystalline phase with composition Mn(NCS)2(C6H8N2)2. Single-crystal structure analysis revealed isotypism with the CoII analogue reported recently (Krebs et al. 2021). Comparison of the experimental X-ray powder diffraction pattern with the calculated pattern based on single-crystal data proved that a pure crystalline phase was obtained (see Fig. S1 in the supporting information); IR investigations revealed that the CN stretching vibration is observed at 2067 cm−1, in agreement with the presence of only terminally N-bound thiocyanate anions (Fig. S2). TG–DTA measurements showed decomposition of the compound at about 500 K, which is accompanied by an endothermic event in the DTA curve (Fig. S3). The first decomposition step might be associated with the removal of the 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine co-ligand. On further heating, an exothermic signal is observed, which indicates the decomposition of the co-ligand.
2. Structural commentary
Mn(NCS)2(C6H8N2)2 is isotypic with its recently reported CdII, ZnII and CoII analogues (Neumann et al., 2017; Krebs et al., 2021). The consists of one MnII cation that is located on a centre of inversion as well as one 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine co-ligand and one thiocyanate anion (Fig. 1). The MnII cation is octahedrally coordinated by the N atoms of four symmetry-equivalent 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine co-ligands and two symmetry-equivalent thiocyanate anions. Two of these co-ligands coordinate through the pyridine N atom whereas the other two coordinate with the amino N atom. Each pair of identical donor atoms is in a trans-position (Fig. 1). The Mn—N bond length to the negatively charged thiocyanate N atom is significantly shorter than that to the 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine co-ligand; the Mn—N bond length to the pyridine N atom is significantly longer than that to the amino N atom of the 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine ligand (Table 1). As expected, all Mn—N bond lengths are significantly longer and shorter, respectively, compared to the CoII and CdII analogues. The bond angles around MnII indicate a considerable distortion (Table 1). This is also indicated by the mean octahedral quadratic elongation of 1.0013 and the octahedral angle variance of 0.8258 (Robinson et al., 1971). The MnII cations are connected by bridging 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine ligands into chains, which are further linked into layers extending parallel to (10) by additional co-ligands (Fig. 2).
3. Supramolecular features
The layers are linked into a three-dimensional network by intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds between the amino H atoms and the thiocyanate S atoms (Fig. 3, Table 2). The N—H⋯S angles indicate a relatively strong interaction and the thiocyanate S atom acts as an acceptor for two of these hydrogen bonds. There is also a C—H⋯S interaction but the bonding angle is far from linearity, which points to a weak interaction (Table 2).
4. Database survey
In the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD, version 5.42, last update November 2020; Groom et al., 2016) no Mn–3-(aminomethyl)pyridine compounds are reported but a few compounds based on Zn(NCS)2 and Cd(NCS)2 have been deposited. In all of the corresponding structures, the metal cations are octahedrally coordinated. This includes M(NCS)2[3-(aminomethyl)pyridine]2 (M = Cd, Zn; Neumann et al., 2017; refcodes: QEKZEO and QEKYUD), which are isotypic to the title compound, as well as M(NCS)2[3-(aminomethyl)pyridine] (M = Cd, Zn; Neumann, et al. 2017; refcodes: QEKZIS and QEKZAK). In the latter ZnII compound, dimers are observed in which two ZnII cations are connected by two 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine ligands. In the CdII compound, the metal cations are linked by μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions into chains that are connected into layers by the 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine ligands. This compound is the only one that contains μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions and which shows a cis-cis-trans coordination of the metal cations. There is also one solvate with the composition Cd(NCS)2[3-(aminomethyl)pyridine]2-tris[3-(aminomethyl)pyridine] reported in the CSD (refcode: QEKYOX; Neumann et al., 2017). Finally, Co(NCS)2(3-(aminomethyl)pyridine)2, which is isotypic to the title compound, is also reported (Krebs et al., 2021).
5. Synthesis and crystallization
Synthesis
Mn(NCS)2 and 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine were purchased from Alfa Aesar and all chemicals were used without further purification. Single crystals were obtained by reacting 1 mmol of Mn(NCS)2 (175.1 mg) with 1 mmol of 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine (108.1 mg) in 4 ml of ethanol. After approximately one week, light-brown crystals were obtained, which were suitable for single crystal X-ray analysis. For the synthesis of crystalline powders, the same amounts of reactants were stirred in 2 ml of ethanol for 1 d and the precipitate was filtered off and dried in air.

Experimental details
The elemental analysis was performed using a EURO EA elemental analyzer fabricated by EURO VECTOR Instruments. The IR spectrum was measured using an ATI Mattson Genesis Series FTIR spectrometer, control software: WINFIRST, from ATI Mattson. The PXRD measurement was performed with Cu Kα1 radiation (λ = 1.540598 Å) using a Stoe Transmission Powder Diffraction System (STADI P) that is equipped with a MYTHEN 1K detector and a Johansson-type Ge(111) monochromator. Thermogravimetry and differential thermoanalysis (TG–DTA) measurements were performed in a dynamic nitrogen atmosphere in Al2O3 crucibles using a STA-PT 1000 thermobalance from Linseis. The instrument was calibrated using standard reference materials.

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. |
