catena-Poly[[[aquamanganese(III)]-μ-(E)-5-bromo-N-[2-(5-bromo-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-4-nitrophenyl]-2-oxidobenzamidato]N,N-dimethylfomamide monosolvate]
The asymmetric unit of the title complex, {[Mn(C20H10Br2N3O5)(H2O)]·(CH3)2NCHO}n, consists of one MnIIIion, one (E)-5-bromo-N-[2-(5-bromo-2-oxidobenzylideneamino)-4-nitrophenyl]-2-oxidobenzamidate ligand (Schiff base), one water molecule and anN,N-dimethylformamide molecule. The coordination geometry around the MnIIIion is a distorted octahedron, being surrounded by two O and two N atoms from the Schiff base, which are positioned in the equatorial plane. The water molecule and the O atom of the carbonyl group from the adjacent MnIIIcomplex are situated at the axial positions, leading to a polymeric chain along thecaxis. In the crystal, the complex andN,N-dimethylformamide molecules are connectedviaO—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
