Deskripsi

The reported structure is a monoclinic polymorph of the title compound, [Mn2(C16H14N2O2)2(NCS)2], which has been characterized previously in an orthorhombic form. Each MnIII atom is chelated by a tetradentate 2,2′-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolate ligand and by the N atom of a thiocyanate anion, in a square-pyramidal arrangement. The complexes form centrosymmetric dimers, with an Mn—O contact of 2.557 (3) Å trans to each thiocyanate anion, completing a distorted octahedral coordination geometry.
