Trans-Bis(nitrato-O)bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-k2N,N′) manganese(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn(NO3)2(C12H 8N2)2], the MnII atom lies on a twofold rotation axis, and is six-coordinated in a distorted trans-N 4O2 octa-hedral environment by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from two nitrate anions. The nitrate anion is disordered about a twofold rotation axis with fixed occupancy factors of 0.5. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 4.088 (5) Å] into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
