Abstract

The synthesis and crystal structure of the dinuclear manganese (II) compound [Mn2(bpy)4(2-ClC6H4COO)2](ClO4)2·2EtOH is described. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 12.2067(18), b = 17.335(3), c = 13.706(3) Å and β = 92.606(8)°. In this structure, two manganese ions are bridged by two 2-chlorobenzoate ligands in a syn–anti mode. The hexa-coordination of each manganese is completed by two 2,2′-bipyridine ligands. Two perchlorate anions and two molecules of ethanol complete the packing. In order to check the magnetic properties previously reported from a powder sample, new magnetic studies have been carried out from a crystal sample, obtaining J = −1.79 cm−1 and g = 2.00 (H = −JS 1 ·S 2 ).

Graphical Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of the dinuclear MnII compound [Mn2(bpy)4(2-ClC6H4COO)2](ClO4)2·2EtOH has been determined and its magnetic properties studied.
