摘要

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Mn(C28H30N2O2)Cl(H2O)][Mn(C28H30N2O2)Cl(CH3OH)], contains two discrete Mn^III complexes of a Schiff base ligand, with an N2O2 donor set. Both Mn^III centers are in a distorted octa­hedral geometry with the N2O2 donor atoms of the tetra­dentate Schiff base dianion in the equatorial plane. The axial positions in the coordination environment of one Mn^III complex are occupied by a chloride ion and a water mol­ecule, but a methanol mol­ecule replaces the water mol­ecule in the other complex. The coordinated water mol­ecule takes part in an O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond between the two Mn^III complexes. In the crystal structure, O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite one-dimensional chains along the [100] direction. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds together with weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl inter­actions. A C—H⋯π inter­action is also observed in the crystal structure.
