Diaquatetrakis(1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane-κN)manganese(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate) monohydrate
The title mononuclear MnII complex, [Mn(C13H14N2)4(H2O)2](PF6)2·H2O, is isostructural with the previously reported ZnII complex. The metal center is coordinated by four monodentate 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane (L1) ligands and two water molecules. One L1 ligand is affected by disorder of two propane C atoms, which are distributed over two positions, with occupancies 0.771 (8)/0.229 (8). The asymmetric unit is completed by one solvent water molecule and two PF6 − anions, both disordered over two positions, with occupancies for F atoms of 0.621 (10)/0.379 (10) for one anion and 0.69 (2)/0.31 (2) for the other. Uncoordinated N atoms of pyridyl groups belonging to L1 and water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonds, with D...A separations ranging from 1.85 (4) to 2.07 (4) Å and D—H...A angles from 169 (3) to 174 (4)°.
