Crystal structure of tri-aqua-(2,6-di-methyl-pyrazine-κN (4))bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)manganese(II) 2,5-di-methyl-pyrazine disolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Mn(NCS)2(C6H8N2)(H2O)3]·2C6H8N2, the Mn(II) cation is coordinated by two terminally N-bonded thio-cyanate anions, three water mol-ecules and one 2,6-di-methyl-pyrazine ligand within a slightly distorted N3O3 octa-hedral geometry; the entire complex mol-ecule is generated by the application of a twofold rotation axis. The asymmetric unit also contains an uncoordinating 2,5-di-methyl-pyrazine ligand in a general position. Obviously, the coordination to the 2,6-di-methyl-pyrazine ligand is preferred because coordination to the 2,5-di-methyl-pyrazine is hindered due to the bulky methyl group proximate to the N atom. The discrete complexes are linked by water-O-H⋯N(2,6-di-methyl-pyzazine/2,5-di-methyl-pyza-zine) hydrogen bonding, forming a three-d
