Bis[2,4-pentanedionato(1−)]bis[4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(4-pyridyl)-imidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide]manganese(II)
Abstract
In the title compound, [Mn(C5H7O2)2(C12H16N3O2)], the manganese(II) cation (site symmetry overline{1}) is hexacoordinated by four O and two N atoms in a distorted trans-MnN2O4 octahedral geometry. The four O atoms belonging to two 2,4-pentanedionate anions lie in the equatorial plane and the two N atoms occupy the axial coordination sites.
