Bis(μ-2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylato)bis[aqua(1,10-phenanthroline)(2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylato)manganese(II)] dihydrate

Abstract

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title complex, [Mn2(C16H10NO2)4(C12H8N2)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, the MnII cation is in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry defined by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one water O atom and three O atoms from three 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylate anions. A pair of 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylate anions bridge two Mn cations, forming the dinuclear molecule. An intramoleculr O—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. Intermolecular O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.
