Crystal Structure of Ammonium Bis(2,6-pyridinedicarboxylato)-manganese(II) Dihydrate

Abstract

The title complex (C₁₄H₁₈MnN₄O₁₀) was synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This complex crystallized in the triclinic system, space group P1, with a = 10.757(4)Å, b = 13.291(4)Å, c = 14.660(5)Å, α = 64.997(5)°, β = 79.437(5)°, γ = 88.470(5)°, Z = 4, V = 1864.2(11)ų. The final R value was R₁ = 0.0764 for 9688 measured reflections. Additional hydrogen bonding, ion pairing, π-π, and C=O-π stacking interactions give rise to a three-dimensional network structure.
