Abstract
ABSTRACT Two mononuclear Mn(II) complexes derived from pentadentate ligands were prepared and characterized. Molecular structures of the complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Mn(II) ions in both structures are seven-coordinate with approximate pentagonal bipyramidal geometry where the pyridinediimine unit and phenolic or alcoholic oxygen atoms (N3O2) of the ligand are located at the pentagonal plane and two exogenous ligands at the axial positions. In the structure of [Mn(HL2)Cl(CH3OH)]·2(CH3OH), methanol solvates link complex molecules into a 1D hydrogen-bonded chain. Emission spectra of the complexes show only one emission band in the 595–625 nm range upon excitation in the 585–615 nm range.
