A new manganese(II) complex with the m-aminobenzoate anion: [aqua(3-aminobenzoato-κO)bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ² N,N′)manganese(II)] 3-aminobenzoate 4.5-hydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn(C12H8N2)2(C7H6NO2)(H2O)](C7H6NO2)·4.5H2O or [Mn(phen)2(L)(H2O)]L·4.5H2O, where HL is m-aminobenzoic acid and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, the central MnII atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from two distinct phen ligands, one O atom from a carboxylate ligand and one O atom from a water molecule. The L − ions and water molecules are linked through an extended network of hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
