| Summary: | The cation of the salt, [Mn2(C14H14N4)3(H2O)2](ClO4)4, lies on a center of inversion, the center lying midway along the ethylene chain of the bridging N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethylene)ethane-1,2-diamine ligand. The Mn atom is chelated by two atoms N atoms of this bridging ligand, and is also coordinated by four N atoms of another ligand. The Mn atom is seven-coordinated in a pentagonal-bipyramidal environment. The crystal structure displays intermolecular π–π interactions between adjacent pyridine rings, with a shortest centroid–centroid distance of 3.784 (3) Å. The perchlorate is linked to the dinuclear cation by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. |
