Catena-Poly[[(4-methyl-benzoato-κO)manganese(II)]-μ-aqua-bis-(μ-4-methyl-benzoato-κO:O')[(4-methyl-benzoato-κO)manganese(II)]-bis-(μ-N,N-diethyl-nicotinamide)-κN:O;O:N].

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Mn(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)](n), contains two crystallographically independent units. In each one, the Mn(II) ions are bridged by two 4-methyl-benzoate (PMB) ligands and one water mol-ecule. In the crystal structure, each Mn(II) ion is coordinated by three PMB ligands, one water mol-ecule and two symmetry-related N,N-diethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands. Symmetry-related Mn(II) ions are bridged by the N and O atoms of symmetry-related DENA ligands, forming polymeric chains parallel to [100]. The coord-ination environmnts for the Mn(II) ions are slightly distorted octa-hedral. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link bridging water mol-ecules to the carboxyl-ate O atoms of a neigh-boring polymeric chain. In the crystal structure, π-π contacts between benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.562 (1) Å] and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
