Aqua(4-fluorobenzoato-κO)bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)manganese(II) 4-fluorobenzoate trihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn(C7H4FO2)(C12H8N2)2(H2O)](C7H4FO2)·3H2O, the MnII atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from one monodentate 4-fluorobenzoate ion and one water molecule, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, the three components are assembled into a tape structure along the a axis by O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Between the tapes, a π–π interaction with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.569 (3) Å and a weak C—H...F hydrogen bond are observed.
