Tetraethylammonium hexacyanidoferrate(III) bis(diaqua{6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2′-[o-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato}manganese(III))–methanol–ethanol (1/2/2)

Abstract

In the title compound, (C8H20N)[Mn(C22H18N2O4)(H2O)2][Fe(CN)6]·2CH3OH·2C2H5OH or [NEt4][Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H2O)2]2[Fe(CN)6]·2CH3OH·2C2H5OH, the asymmetric unit consists of one half of an [NEt4]+ cation disordered around a twofold axis, the [Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H2O)2]+ coordination cation, one half of a C2 symmetric [Fe(CN)6]3− anion and disordered methanol and ethanol solvent molecules that are equally populated at two different sites. The MnIII atom chelated by the 3-Meosalophen ligand adopts a slightly distorted MnN2O4 octahedral geometry with the coordination completed by two water molecules. The [Mn(3-Meosalophen)(H2O)2]+ cations, [Fe(CN)6]3- anions and solvent molecules are connected into a zigzag chain through hydrogen-bonding interactions.
