Abstract
The manganese(II) complex [Mn(DMF)6](BPh4)2 [DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide] [hexakis(N,N-dimethylformamide-κO)manganese(II) bis(tetraphenylborate)] was prepared, and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray method. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 and Z = 1 with cell parameters: a = 10.0628(16)Å, b = 12.1027(19)Å, c = 14.881(2)Å, α = 112.191(3)°, β = 93.081(3)°, γ = 108.055(3)°, V = 1565.1(4)Å3. Six DMF molecules coordinate to a manganese(II) center to form a [Mn(DMF)6]2+ cation, somehow approximated to an S6 symmetry; however, the coordination geometry is apparently compressed along a pseudo-trigonal axis different from the pseudo-S6 axis.
