Crystal Structure of Dichlorodiaquabis-(p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde) Manganese (II)

Abstract

The crystal structure of dichlorodiaquabis-(p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde)manganese(II), [MnCl<inf>2</inf> (OH<inf>2</inf>)<inf>2</inf>(C<inf>9</inf>H<inf>11</inf>NO)<inf>2</inf>], was determined from X-ray intensity data. The structure consists of the isolated molecules of the complex. The central Mn atom in the complex is coordinated by txo p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and two water molecules and also two chlorine atoms, resulting in a distorted octahedral environment. The same molecules or ions occupy trans positions. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak hydrogen bonds present between the isolated molecules.
