Catena-Poly[[bis(acetonitrile-κN)manganese(II)]-bis(μ-trifluoromethanesulfonato-κ2O:O')]

Abstract

The title compound, [Mn(CF3SO3)2(CH3CN)2]n, has an MnII cation on an inversion centre in an octahedral environment. The trifluoromethanesulfonate anions act as bridging ligands and form a one-dimensional coordination polymer in the direction of the a axis. The F atoms of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anions form layers parallel to the ab plane, but despite short intermolecular distances, no stabilizing F...F interactions are detected. The Mn—N and C—C bonds of the acetonitrile ligand are analyzed according to the Hirshfeld rigid-bond test. Renninger effects in the reflection data are considered, explored and discussed.
