We have prepared the Mn(III) complexes rac-Na[Mn(EHPG)].3H(2)O (1) and rac.meso-Na[Mn(EHPG].H2O (2), where H(4)EHPG is ethylenebis[(o-hydroxyphenyl)glycine], and determined their X-ray crystal structures, Complex 1 contains N(S.S)C(R,R) configurations at the N and C stereogenic centres, whilst in the unit cell of complex 2 there are two independent molecules. 2a (meso) and 2b (rac), with N(R.R)C(S.R) and N(R.R)C(S.S) configurations. respectively. Enantiomers of each complex are also present. The Mn(III) centres have Jahn-Teller-distorted octahedral geometry. The rac isomer has two long axial Mn-O(carboxylate) bonds (2.162-2.202 Angstrom) and the equatorial plane contains two short Mn N bonds (2.012-2.063 Angstrom) trans to short Mn-O(phenolate) bonds (1.865-1.901 Angstrom). The meso isomer has long axial Mn-N (21.194 Angstrom) and Mn-O(carboxylate) (2.152 Angstrom) bonds. and shorter equatorial Mn-N (2.005 Angstrom) trans to Mn-O(phenolate) ( 1.901 Angstrom) and Mn-O(carboxylate) ( 1.988 Angstrom) trans to O(phenolate) (1.897 Angstrom) bonds.
