Chlorido[2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(nitrilomethanylylidyne)]diphenolato-κ4O,N,N′,O′]manganese(III) methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Mn(C20H14N2O2)Cl]·CH3OH, the central MnIII atom displays a distorted square-pyramidal coordination by two N and two O atoms from the tetradentate 2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(nitrilomethanylylidyne)]diphenolate ligand and one chloride ligand. The MnIII atom is 0.525 (4) Å out of the square basal N2O2 least-squares plane. The complex molecule is hydrogen bonded to the methanol solvent molecule.
