“…Since the original structure determination of 2,4,6-tri-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine ligand (Drew et al, 1998), triazine complexes, including Mn(II) derivatives, have attracted considerable interest over the years (Hsu et al, 2006;Majumder et al, 2006;Sun et al, 2007;Tyagi & Singh, 2009;Zhang et al, 2008;Zhao et al, 2007). In the title complex, [MnCl 2 (C 18 H 12 N 6 )], the Mn II ion is five-coordinated in an approximately square-pyramidal geometry by three N atoms of the tridentate 2,4,6-tri-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine ligand and two Cl atoms ( Fig.…”
