Abstract
Complexes of quinquedentate macrocyclic ligands with MnII have been prepared by condensation of 2,6-diformylpyridine and 2,6-diacetylpyridine with 2,9-di(1-methylhydrazino)-1,10-phenanthroline monohydrochloride in the presence of manganese(II) templates. Electrical conductivity and i.r. spectra are reported and evaluated to distinguish between ring closure and polymer formation, while magnetic susceptibility data show the complexes to be high spin. Evidence is presented for co-ordination of unidentate ligands in one axial site thereby completing the pentagonal-pyramidal co-ordination geometry about the MnII ions. This is confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination of [MnC23H21N7Cl][BF4], which is monoclinic with a= 11.717(8), b= 14.403(9), c= 15.316(9)Å, β= 116.42(6)°, Z= 4, space group P21/n. Metal–donor nitrogen bond lengths are 2.167(11), 2.168(11), 2.204(11), 2.312(11), and 2.348(11)Å and the metal–chlorine distance is 2.353(6)Å. The MnII is 0.53 Å out of the N5 donor plane, towards the chlorine. The structure is compared with other pentagonal pyramids and distortions from the symmetric shape are discussed. Structural similarities between the current ligand and porphyrins, particularly in cavity sizes, are noted.
