Bis(acetylacetonato-κ2O,O′)(pyridine-κN)(thiocyanato-κN)manganese(III): a redetermination using data from a single crystal

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(C5H7O2)2(NCS)(C5H5N)], the Mn3+ cation is coordinated by two acetylacetonate anions, one terminal thiocyanate anion and one pyridine ligand within a slightly distorted octahedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half a complex molecule with the Mn3...

Description
Summary:In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(C5H7O2)2(NCS)(C5H5N)], the Mn3+ cation is coordinated by two acetylacetonate anions, one terminal thiocyanate anion and one pyridine ligand within a slightly distorted octahedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half a complex molecule with the Mn3+ cation, the thiocyanate anion and the pyridine ligand located on a mirror plane. The acetylacetonate anion is in a general position. The title compound was previously described [Stults et al. (1975). Inorg. Chem. 14, 722–730] but could only be obtained as a powder. Suitable crystals have now been obtained for a high-precision single-crystal structure determination.
