Abstract
The title compound, [Mn(C3H7NO)6][Cr(NCS)5(C3H7NO)], was obtained unintentionally as a product of an attempted synthesis of heterometallic complexes based on Reineckes anion using manganese powder, Reineckes salt and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)tetrazole as starting materials. The crystal structure of the complex consists of an [Mn(dmf)6]2+ cation and a [Cr(NCS)5(dmf)]2− anion (dmf = dimethylformamide). The MnII and CrIII atoms show a slightly distorted octahedral MnO6 and CrN5O coordination geometries with adjacent angles in the range 85.29 (13)–95.96 (14)°.
