Diaquadichloridobis(1H-imidazole)manganese(II) at 100 K
摘要:
The mononuclear title complex, [MnCl2(C3H4N2)(2)(H2O)(2)], is located on a crystallographic inversion center. The Mn-II ion is coordinated by two imidazole ligands [Mn-N = 2.2080 (9) angstrom], two Cl atoms [Mn-Cl = 2.5747 (3) angstrom] and two water molecules [Mn-O = 2.2064 (8) angstrom]. These six monodentate ligands define an octahedron with almost ideal angles: the adjacent N-Mn-O, N-Mn-Cl and O-Mn-Cl angles are 90.56 (3), 92.04 (2) and 90.21 (2)degrees, respectively. Hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and Cl atoms form a two-dimensional network parallel to (100) involving R-4(2)(8) rings. The two-dimensional networks link into a three-dimensional framework through weaker N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl interactions. Thermogravimetric analysis results are in accordance with the water-coordinated character of the substance and its dehydration in two successive steps.
