Abstract: Complex [Mn2(C6H11CO2)3(4,4′-bipy)2(H2O)2]ClO4 (C6H11CO2H=cyclohexanecarboxylic acid) was synthesized by reaction of Mn(ClO4)2·6H2O, C6H11CO2Na and 4,4′-bipy in methanol. The title complex crystallizes in triclinic space group P1, with a=1.008 8(2) nm, b=1.086 3(1) nm, c=1.164 9(3) nm, α=63.016(3)°, β=81.998(4)°, γ=88.604(1)°, V=1.125 4(4) nm3, Z=1. There are two types of Mn atoms in the structure with each in octahedral geometry. Mn1 and Mn2 are bridged by cyclohexanecarboxylate ligands into a chain and the chains are further linked together by 4,4′-bipy into a 2D plane. CCDC: 692247. |
