Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of di-aqua-bis-(N,N-di-ethyl-nicotinamide-κN1)bis-(2,4,6-tri-methyl-benzoato-κO)manganese(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title centrosymmetric complex, [Mn(C10H11O2)2(C10H14N2O)2(H2O)2], the MnII cation is located on an inversion centre. The four O atoms form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement around the MnII cation, and the distorted octa-hedral coordination is completed by two pyridine N atoms at distances of 2.3289 (15) Å. The dihedral angle between the planar carboxyl-ate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 87.73 (16)°, while the benzene and pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 43.03 (8)°. In the crystal, the water mol-ecules are involved in both intra-molecular (to the non-coordinating carboxyl-ate O atom) and inter-molecular (to the amide carbonyl O atom) O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The latter lead to the formation of layers parallel to (100). These layers are further linked via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three-dimensional supra-molecular network. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (70.0%), H⋯O/O⋯H (15.5%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (14.0%) inter-actions. One of the ethyl groups of the di-ethyl-nicotinamide ligand is disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.282 (10):0.718 (10).
