Synthesis and Structural Characterization of {[Mn（phen）2（OAc）(H2O)]ClO4}2H2O

The crystal structure of the title compound {[Mn(phen)2(OAc)(H2O)]ClO4}2H2O (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized and determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal is of triclinic, space group P?with a = 12.7955(4), b = 15.0544(4), c = 16.2183(4) , ?= 64.479(1), b =67.526(1), g = 83.582(1), C52H40Cl2Mn2N8O15, Mr = 1197.70, V = 2600.1(1) ?, Dc = 1.530 g/cm3, F(000) = 1224, = 0.666 cm-1 and Z = 2. The final refinement gave R = 0.0691 and wR = 0.1821 for 6131 observed reflections with I > 2s(I). The cell of the complex contains two uniform mono-manganese molecules [Mn(phen)2(OAc)(H2O)]ClO4 and a solvate water molecule. Four nitrogen atoms from two chelating phenanthroline ligands and one oxygen atom from acetate ligate to the MnⅡ ion, forming a distorted octahedral geometry together with one coordinated water molecule. One ClO4- anion and one water molecule exist outside the cation [Mn(phen)2(OAc)- (H2O)]+ as a counter ion and solvate molecule, respectively.
