{N,N′-Bis[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine-κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′}bis(thiocyanato-κN)manganese(II)

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, [Mn(NCS)2(C16H18N4)], has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry, with the MnII atom lying on the rotation axis. The MnII atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two N atoms of two thiocyanate ligands, forming a distorted octahedral geometry.
