Bis{3-[(E)-2-(aminocarbonyl)hydrazonomethyl]pyridine}diaquadiisothiocyanatomanganese(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Mn(SCN)2(H-Pysc)2(H2O)2] {H-Pysc = 3-[2-(amino­carbon­yl)hydrazonometh­yl]pyridine, C7H8N4O}, MnII, located at an inversion centre, is coordinated by two thio­cyanate anions, two water mol­ecules and two mol­ecules of the neutral Schiff base ligand H-Pysc, forming an octa­hedral configuration. The Schiff base acts as a monodentate ligand, coordinating to the metal through the pyridyl N atom, whereas the amide O and imine N atoms remain uncoordinated. The complex mol­ecules are held together by inter­molecular hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supra­molecular network.
