A tetranuclear chlorido-bridged manganese(II) cluster with imidazole ligands

The crystal structure of di-μ3-chlorido-tetra-μ2-chlorido-dichloridoocta(imidazole-κN)tetramanganese(II) ethanol 1.234 solvate, [Mn4Cl8(C3H4N2)8]·1.234C2H5O or [Mn4Cl8(Him)8]·1.234EtOH, where Him is imidazole (C3H4N2), is based upon two Mn4Cl4 cubes which...

KurawaThe crystal structure of di-μ3-chlorido-tetra-μ2-chlorido-dichloridoocta(imidazole-κN)tetramanganese(II) ethanol 1.234 solvate, [Mn4Cl8(C3H4N2)8]·1.234C2H5O or [Mn4Cl8(Him)8]·1.234EtOH, where Him is imidazole (C3H4N2), is based upon two Mn4Cl4 cubes which share one face, and which each lack one manganese vertex, giving a Mn4Cl6 unit. This contains two different octahedral coordination environments for the Mn atoms. Mn1 is coordinated by four bridging chlorido ligands and two imidazole N atoms, whereas Mn2 is coordinated by three bridging and one terminal Cl and two imidazole N atoms. The remaining two Mn centres are generated by inversion symmetry. A partial occupancy solvent molecule (ethanol) is present. The crystal structure displays several N—H...Cl and N—H...O hydrogen bonds.http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536808029139
