Cis-(2,2′-Bipyridyl)dichloromanganese(II)–thiourea (1/1)

Abstract

In the title compound, [MnCl2(C10H8N2)2]·SC(NH2)2, the MnII atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2′-bipyridyl ligands and two Cl− anions, resulting in a distorted cis-MnCl2N4 octahedral geometry. The complexes and thiourea molecules are connected by N—H...Cl and N—H...S hydrogen bonds, leading to one-dimensional tapes which are further organized into a three-dimensional structure through π–π, C—H...π and C—H...Cl interactions.
