| Summary: | The structure of the title compound, [MnCl2(C5H10O2)2], was solved from low-temperature data collected at 100 (2) K. The asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule with the MnII ion located on a twofold axis. A distorted octahedral environment around the Mn atom is formed by two ether and two hydroxyl O atoms of two 2-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran ligands, and by two chloride ions. The chelating tetrahydrofuran ligands, which form five-membered rings, are cis oriented. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonding between the coordinated OH groups and the chloride ions. |
