Chlorido-bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N')copper(II) chlorido-(1,10-phen-anthroline-κ(2) N,N')(pyridine-2,6-di-carboxyl-ato-κ(3) O (2),N,O (6))manganate(II) methanol monosolvate.

Abstract

The title complex, [CuCl(C12H8N2)2][Mn(C7H3NO4)Cl(C12H8N2)]·CH3OH, consists of discrete [CuCl(phen)2]+ cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline), [MnCl(pydc)(phen)]− anions (H2pydc is 2,6-pyridine-2,6-di­carb­oxy­lic acid) and one methanol solvent mol­ecule of crystallization per asymmetric unit. It should be noted, that a solvent-masking procedure as implemented in OLEX2 [Dolomanov et al. (2009). J. Appl. Cryst. 42, 339–341 ▶] was used to remove the electronic contribution from one disordered solvent molecule, presumably methanol. Only the atoms used in the refined model are reported in chemical formula and related values. The CuII ion is five-coordinated by two phenanthroline ligands and one chloride ion in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The dihedral angle between the phen ligands is 65.21 (5)°. The MnII ion is six-coordinated by one Cl atom, two N atoms from a phen ligand, as well one N atom and two O atoms from pydc in a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry, with cis angles ranging from 72.00 (8) to 122.07 (8)° and trans angles ranging from 143.98 (8) to 163.15 (6)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, cation–anion π–π inter­actions between the phen ring systems with centroid–centroid distances in the range 3.881 (34)–4.123 (36) Å, as well as cation–cation, anion–anion π–π inter­actions between the phen rings with centroid–centroid distances in the range 3.763 (4)–3.99 (5) Å and pydc rings with centroid–centroid distances 3.52 (5) Å link the various components.
