Abstract

The title complex, {[Mn(C14H8O4S2)(C12H8N2)2]·0.5CH3OH·H2O}n, has a one-dimensional chain structure in which the MnII atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and two O atoms from two 2,2′-dithiodibenzoate (L) ligands. The L ligands adopt a bis(monodentate) (syn–anti) coordination mode and bridge adjacent MnII centres, generating a chain running along [201]. Adjacent chains are linked into a two-dimensional network, parallel to (10overline{1}), via interchain C—H...π and π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distance = 3.477 (1) Å] interactions. The structure also contains numerous hydrogen-bonding interactions, which further link the two-dimensional entities into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
