Diaquabis[2-(5-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl-κN3)nicotinato-κN]manganese(II)
Abstract
In the title compound, [Mn(C13H14N3O3)2(H2O)2], the MnII ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two (±)-2-(5-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinate ligands and two water molecules in a distorted octahedral environment. Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds lead to a chain along [010]. Intramolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed.
