catena-Poly[[(nitrato-κO)(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)manganese(II)]-μ-nitrato-κ2O:O′]

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(NO3)2(C12H8N2)]n, the MnII atoms are linked by nitrate ligands to form a chain. Each MnII atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and three O atoms of two nitrates within a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, the chains are linked by hydrogen bonds into a polymeric ribbon structure.
