Abstract

The molecular structure of a novel manganese(II) complex with 4-(p-methoxyphenyl)-3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (MOBPT) has been determined by X-ray analysis, FT-IR and by ESI-MS spectroscopy. The manganese atom is in a distorted octahedral environment. Bidentate chelating ligand (MOBPT) and two cis-oriented thiocyanate anions coordinate to the metal center equatorially and two water molecules coordinate axially. MOBPT entity coordinates via one triazole nitrogen and one pyridine nitrogen atom. The molecules are stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal lattice. Magnetic measurements show that the complex is high-spin species in the 75-300 K range.
