(Received 1 November 2013; accepted 6 November 2013; online 13 November 2013)

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[Stults, B. R., Marianelli, R. S. & Day, V. W. (1975). Inorg. Chem. 14, 722-730.]). 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.

Comment top

Crystals of the title compound were prepared within a project on the synthesis of Manganese(III) coordination polymers containing thiocyanato anions and neutral N-donor co-ligands. Within this project manganese(III) acetylacetonate was reacted with potassium thiocyanate and pyridine in a mixture of ethanol and sulfuric acid leading to the formation of crystals of the title compound. The title compound was already described by Stults et al. (1975) but could only be obtained as a microcrystaline powder. We now have been able to get suitable crystals for a single crystal structure determination.

In the crystal structure the manganese(III) cations are coordinated by four oxygen atoms of two symmetry related acetylacetone anions and two nitrogen atoms of an N-terminal coordinated thiocyanato anion and one pyridine ligand into discrete complexes that are located on a mirror plane (Fig. 1). The coordination polyhedron of the Mn cation can be described as a slightly distorted octahedron.

Experimental top

Manganese(III) 2,4-pentadionate was purchased from Alfa Aesar. Potassium thiocyanate was purchased from Fluka. Pyridine was purchased from Riedel-de Haen. The title compound was prepared by the reaction of 70.5 mg Mn(III) 2,4-pentadionate (0.20 mmol) 58.3 mg potassium thiocyanate (0.6 mmol) and 32.3 µl pyridine (0.4 mmol) in a mixture of 1.0 mL ethanol and 10.68 µl sulfuric acid at RT in a closed 3 ml snap cap vial. After three days brown crystals of the title compound, mostly in the form of plates, were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry (methyl H atoms allowed to rotate but not to tip) and were refined isotropically with Ueq(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms (1.5 for methyl H atoms) using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å (aromatic) and with C—H = 0.98 Å (methyl).

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
