Aqua(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κ²N,N′)bis(2-hydroxybenzoato-κO)manganese(II) 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline hemisolvate

Abstract

In the asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Mn(C7H5O3)2(C14H12N2)(H2O)]·0.5C14H12N2, the MnII ion is coordinated by a bidentate 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) mol­ecule, one water mol­ecule and two monodentate 2-hydroxy­benzoate anions in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The OH group of the 2-hydroxy­benzoate anion is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.5. The asymmetric unit is completed with by an uncoordinated half-mol­ecule of dmphen, disordered about a crystallographic twofold axis. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into a two-dimensional framework by O—H⋯N, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The packing of the structure is further stabilized by π–π stacking inter­actions involving dmphen mol­ecules, with centroid–centroid separations of 3.8027 (3) and 3.6319 (3) Å.
