Abstract
Single crystals of the title compound, [K(C18H36N2O6)][Mn(C44H24Cl4N4)(C7H7S)]·2C4H8O, were obtained by the solvent evaporation method. The MnII cation is coordinated by four pyrrole N atoms (Np) of the porphyrin ring and one S atom of the apical 4-methyl-benzene-thiol-ate ligand with the average Mn-Np and the apical Mn-S bond lengths being 2.160 (9) and 2.4642 (8) Å, respectively. Two tetra-hydro-furan solvent mol-ecules and a potassium cation chelated inside a [2.2.2]cryptand (4,7,13,16,21,24-hexa-oxa-1,10-di-aza-bicyclo[8.8.8]hexa-cosa-ne) are also present.

Summary
The MnII cation is coordinated by four pyrrole N atoms (Np) of the porphyrin ring and one S atom of the apical 4-methylbenzenethiolate ligand with the average Mn—Np and the apical Mn—S bond lengths being 2.160 (9) and 2.4642 (8) A , respectively. Two tetrahydrofuran solvent molecules and a potassium cation chelated inside a [2.2.2]cryptand The counter-ion to the negatively charged five-coordinate MnII porphyrinate, i.e. the [MnII(TpClPP)(p-CH3PhSÀ)]À anion, is a [K(222)]+ cation in which the potassium ion is chelated inside a [2.2.2]cryptand molecule. The title compound shows a larger metal displacement from the 24-atom mean plane [0.72 Aversus 0.45–0.51 A ), longer M—Np (Np is a porphyrin N atom) bond lengths [2.160 (9) Aversus 2.057 (5)–2.06 (12) A ], and a longer Mn— S apical distance [2.4642 (8) Aversus 2.298 (5)–2.311 (3) A ] (Byrn & Strouse, 1991; Miller & Strouse, 1984a,b)
