Tetraaquabis[4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoato-κN1]manganese(II) decahydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn(C9H6N3O2)2(H2O)4]·10H2O, the MnII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoate ligands and four water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. The MnII ion and two coordinated water molecules lie on a twofold rotation axis. The water molecules are involved in O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the triazole N atoms and carboxylate O atoms, yielding a three-dimensional supramolecular network. π–π interactions between the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.836 (9) Å] are observed.
