Transition metal complexes with Girard reagent-based ligands. Part V. Synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of pentagonal-bipyramidal manganese(II) complex with 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(Girard-T hydrazone)

Abstract

The article describes the synthesis and crystal structure of the Mn(II) complex with 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis (Girard-T hydrazone), (H(2)dap(GT)(2))(2+), of the formula [Mn(H(2)dap(GT)(2))(NCS)(2)](NCS)(2)center dot MeOH. The complex has a pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry, with pentadentate N(3)O(2) ligand in the equatorial plane and two isothiocyanato groups in the axial positions. Both the ligand and the complex are characterized by their FT-IR spectra and thermal data. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
