Syntheses, crystal structures and properties of tetra-kis-(3-methyl-pyridine-κN)bis-(iso-thio-cyanato-κN)manganese(II) and tetra-kis-(3-methyl-pyridine-κN)bis-(iso-thio-cyanato-κN)iron(II).

ABSTRACT: The reaction of Mn(NCS)₂ or Fe(NCS)₂ with 3-methyl-pyridine (C₆H₇N) leads to the formation of two isostructural compounds with compositions [Mn(NCS)₂(C₆H₇N)₄] (1) and [Fe(NCS)₂(C₆H₇N)₄] (2). IR spectroscopic investigations indicate that only terminally coordinated thio-cyanate anions are present. This is confirmed by single-crystal structure analysis, which shows that their crystal structures consist of discrete centrosymmetric complexes, in which the metal cations are octa-hedrally coordinated by two N-bonded thio-cyanate anions and four 3-methyl-pyridine ligands. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) proves that pure samples have been obtained. Therm
