Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn(C14H8O4)(C13H8N4)]n, the MnII atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by four O atoms from three different carboxylate groups and two N atoms from one imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline molecule. The organic ligands link inorganic MnII nodes, forming a zigzag chain along the c axis.

In the title compound, [Mn(C14H8O4)(C13H8N4)]n, the MnII atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by four O atoms from three different carboxylate groups and two N atoms from one imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline molecule. The organic ligands link inorganic MnII nodes, forming a zigzag chain along the c axis. The distortion of the diphenyl spacer about the central bond allows the carboxylate ligand to link metal ions into helical chains or one dimensional chains, see: Guo et al (2010).
