Abstract
The title salt, [Mn(C2H6OS)6]I4, is made up from discrete [Mn(DMSO)6]2+ (DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide) units connected through non-classical hydrogen bonds to linear I42- tetra-iodide anions. The MnII ion in the cation, situated on a position with site symmetry -3., is octa-hedrally coordinated by O atoms of the DMSO mol-ecule with an Mn-O distance of 2.1808 (12) Å. The I42- anion contains a neutral I2 mol-ecule weakly coordinated by two iodide ions, forming a linear centrosymmetric tetra-iodide anion. The title compound is isotypic with the Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn analogues.

This family of materials adopts the perovskite ABX3 structure type, where A is an organic cation, which is surrounded by twelve nearest X halide anions, and B is a metal cation (Grätzel, 2014)
The tetraiodide counter-anions are located between the rows (Fig. 3)
Summary
Inorganic–organic hybrid compounds have attracted significant attention owing to their fascinating structural, optical and electrical properties (Stranks & Snaith, 2015). CH3NH3PbX3 hybrids obtained from PbX2 and CH3NH3X = I, Br, Cl) are interesting due to their high absorption coefficient and applications in optoelectronics This family of materials adopts the perovskite ABX3 structure type, where A is an organic cation, which is surrounded by twelve nearest X halide anions, and B is a metal cation (Grätzel, 2014). There are continuous efforts on replacing Pb in these hybrids due to its toxicity (Wang et al, 2015). (DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide), and report here its crystal structure
