Bis(quinolinium) tetrabromidomanganate(II)

Abstract

The title compound, (C9H8N)2[MnBr4], consists of two quinolinium cations and a [MnBr4]2− anion. The manganese(II) atom, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four bromide ligands and exhibits a tetrahedral coordination geometry. The [MnBr4]2− anion and the quinolinium cations are linked by N—H...Br hydrogen bonds. π–π stacking interactions are observed between the quinolinium cations.
