Crystal structure of nitrido[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methylphenyl)porphyrinato]manganese(V)

Abstract

The title compound, [Mn(C48H36N4)(N)], is a manganese(V) complex with the transition metal in a square-pyramidal coordination geometry and a nitride as the axial ligand. The complex resides on a crystallographic inversion center and only one half of it is symmetry independent. The MnV atom and the nitride N atom are equally disordered across the inversion center. The Mn[triple-bond]N distance is 1.516 (4) Å. The MnV atom is displaced from the plane defined by the four equatorial nitrogen atoms toward the nitride ligand by 0.3162 (6) Å.
