Abstract
A novel two-dimensional manganese(II) azide complex with N-methyl-imidazole, [Mn(N-methyl-imidazole)2 (μ1,3-N3)2]n, was synthesized. The title complex was crystallized in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 6.5886(3)Å, b = 6.3101(3), c = 14.8922(7)Å, β = 94.301(1)°, V = 617.40(5)Å3 and Z = 2. The structure consists of an extended two-dimensional layer of octahedrally coordinated centrosymmetric manganese atoms, bridged by means of μ1,3-N3 ligands.
