Synthesis and characterization of neutral, four-coordinate, tetrahedral manganese(II) complexes in volving coordinated chloro and thiocyanato groups in the solid state

Abstract

Preparations of Mn(2,6-dimethylpyridine-N-Oxide)2Cl2 and Mn(pyrazine)2(NCS)2 have been described. Based on room temperature magnetic moment values, electronic spectral, ligand field parameters and infrared spectral features down to 200 cm−1 the complexes isolated are considered as neutral species of four-coordinated, high spin, monomeric, tetrahedral environments around manganese(II) invovling coordinated chloro and thiocyanato groups in the solid state. © 1986, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
