Abstract
A dinuclear manganese(III) complex, [Mn(L1-Bz)(na)]2 [H2L1-Bz = 1-[(2-hydroxymethylphenyl)iminomethyl]-2-naphthol, Hna = o-hydroxynaphthaldehyde], was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic system, spaces group P21/n and Z = 4 with cell parameters a = 10.080(4)Å, b = 23.642(8)Å, c = 10.368(4)Å, β = 115.142(5)°, V = 2236.6(14)Å3. The dinuclear structure is formed by two μ-hydoroxo bridges with a Mn…Mn separation of 3.1648(14)Å.
