Bis[N-(8-quinolyl)pyridine-2-carboxamidato-κ³N,N′,N′′]manganese(III) perchlorate monohydrate

Abstract

The MnIII ion in the title complex, [Mn(C15H10N3O)2]ClO4·H2O, is coordinated meridionally by six N atoms from two tridentate N-(8-quinol­yl)pyridine-2-carboxamidate ligands, yielding a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry. The two ligands are nearly planar and their mean planes are almost perpendicular, with a dihedral angle of 86.7 (2)°.
