Crystal structure of aqua-chlorido-(nitrato-κ²O,O')[1-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-2-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene-κN)hydrazine-κN²]manganase(II).

ABSTRACT: The search for novel manganese(II) compounds having inter-esting magnetic properties, using 1-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)hydrazine (HL) as a tridendate ligand, led to the preparation of the title mononuclear material, [MnCl(NO₃)(C₁₁H₁₀N₄)(H₂O)], and the determination of its structure by XRD. The asymmetric unit comprises a discrete mol-ecule in which the cation Mn^II is hepta-coordinated. The environment around the cation is an almost perfect penta-gonal bipyramid. The base is defined by the two N atoms of the pyridine rings, the N atom of the imino function of the ligand and the two O atoms of the chelating bidentate nitrate ligand. The apical positions are occupied by a Cl atom and a water mol-ecule. In the crystal, there are numerous hydrogen bonds of the types Ow-H⋯ONO₂ and C-H⋯ONO₂, which generate layers parallel to the bc plane in which the ligands in the axial positions point into the inter-layer space. These axial ligands give rise to hydrogen bonds of the types Ow-H⋯ONO₂, Ow-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl, leading to a three-dimensional framework. The chain bridging the two pyridine rings is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.53 (2):0.47 (2) ratio.
