Catena-Poly[[[bis(2,2′-bipyridine)manganese(II)]-μ4-3,3′-sulfanediyldipropionato] bis(perchlorate)

Abstract

The title compound, [Mn2(C6H8O4S)(C10H8N2)4](ClO4)2, which was crystallized from an aqueous solution, features two MnII atoms in the asymmetric unit, each being coordinated by four N-atom donors from 2,2′-bipyridine ligands and two O atoms of two different 3,3′-sulfanediyldipropionate (L) ligands, with the O atoms in cis positions. The two carboxyl­ate groups of each L ligand, which adopt a syn-anti coordination mode, combine with four MnII atoms, yielding one-dimensional chains extending along [010].
