Bis[4-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)benzoato-κO]tetrakis(methanol-κO)manganese(II)

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Mn(C14H10NO3)2(CH3OH)4], the MnII atom, lying on an inversion centre, exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry, defined by two O atoms from two monodentate ligands and four O atoms from four methanol molecules. The crystal structure involves intramolecular O—H...N and O—H...O and intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
