Bis(acetyl­acetonato-κ2OO′)(pyridine-κN)(thio­cyanato-κN)manganese(III): a redetermination using data from a single crystal

摘要

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(C5H7O2)2(NCS)(C5H5N)], the Mn³⁺ cation is coordin­ated by two acetyl­acetonate anions, one terminal thio­cyanate anion and one pyridine ligand within a slightly distorted octa­hedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half a complex mol­ecule with the Mn³⁺ cation, the thio­cyanate anion and the pyridine ligand located on a mirror plane. The acetyl­acetonate anion is in a general position. The title compound was previously described [Stults et al. (1975). Inorg. Chem. >14, 722–730] but could only be obtained as a powder. Suitable crystals have now been obtained for a high-precision single-crystal structure determination.
