Chlorido{4,4'-dichloro-2,2'-[1,2-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato-?O,N,N',O'}(methanol-?O)manganese(III).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [Mn(C(20)H(12)Cl(2)N(2)O(2))Cl(CH(3)OH)], the Mn(III) atom is in an octa-hedral coordination geometry with the N(2)O(2) atoms of the doubly-deprotonated Schiff base forming a square around it. The chloride ion and the O atom of the methanol mol-ecule occupy the other two positions of the octa-hedron. The dihedral angle between the two outer phenolate rings of the tetra-dentate ligand is 20.27?(12)°. The central phenyl-ene ring makes dihedral angles of 18.62?(12) and 6.02?(12)° with the two outer phenolate rings. Hydrogen bonds of the O-H?Cl type link the mol-ecules into an infinite chain along [010]. These chains are arranged into sheets parallel to the ab plane and these sheets are connected by weak C-H?Cl inter-actions into a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C-H?? inter-actions.
