(Pyridino-15-crown-5-κ5N,O,O′,O′′,O′′′)bis(thiocyanato-κN)manganese(II)

Abstract

The title complex, [Mn(NCS)2(C13H19NO4)] {systematic name: [3,6,9,12-tetraoxa-18-azabicyclo[12.3.1]octacosa-14(18),15,17-triene-κ5N,O,O′,O′′,O′′′]bis(thiocyanato-κN)manganese(II)}, was obtained by the reaction of MnCl2·4H2O and NaSCN with pyridino-15-crown-5. The Mn2+ center has a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry, coordinated by four O atoms and one N atom of the pyridino-15-crown-5 molecule, and by the N atoms of the two NCS− ligands.
