Crystal structure of bis-(μ-4-nitro-benzoato-κ²O:O')bis-[bis-(4-methyl-pyridine-κN)(4-nitro-benzoato-κ²O,O')manganese(II)].

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Mn₂(C₇H₄NO₄)₄(C₆H₇N)₄] or [Mn₂(μ-NBz)₂(κ²-NBz)₂(4-Mepy)₄], where NBz is 4-nitro-benzoate and 4-Mepy is 4-methyl-pyridine, is a centrosymmetric dinuclear complex in which the Mn^II atoms are bridged by two NBz ligands with Mn⋯Mn = 4.1324 (4) Å. The Mn^II atom in this dimeric species is present in a distorted octa-hedral environment with the four coordinating O atoms forming the equatorial plane and the two pyridyl N atoms occupying the axial sites. An important structural feature of the dimeric complex is that each of the bridging carboxyl-ate ligands binds to the metal ions in an asymmetric fashion involving
