Bis(azido-κN)bis[6-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine-κ2N1,N6]manganese(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Mn(N3)2(C8H8N6)2], the complete molecule is generated by the application of twofold symmetry, and is in a distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate 6-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine ligands and two N atoms from two azide anions. The two chelated 6-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine ligands form a dihedral angle 74.75 (5)°. The mononuclear molecules are alternatively linked into layers parallel to the ac plane via N—H...N hydrogen bonds. Adjacent layers are connected into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework by futher N—H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions.
