The title complex, [MnCl2(C21H19N3)]·0.5CH2Cl2 or [MnCl2(Plep)]·0.5CH2Cl2 {Plep is 2,6-bis­[1-(phenyl­imino)eth­yl]pyridine, derived from the condensation of 2,6-diacetyl­pyridine and aniline in methanol} is composed of two crystallographically independent [MnCl2(Plep)] neutral units and a CH2Cl2 solvent mol­ecule. Both complex mol­ecules have similar geometries in which the MnII atom is coordinated by the N atoms of pyridine and the two imine groups of a neutral Schiff base, and by two chloride anions in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The structure of each [MnCl2(Plep)] unit exhibits a pseudo-mirror plane through the metal atom, two chloride anions and the pyridine ring. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H...Cl and C—H...π and inter­actions.

Comment top

In recent years, many researchers focused on metal complexes based on Schiff base ligands derived from 2,6-diacetylpyridine due to their antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antioxidant, especially their catalytic activities (Reardon et al., 2002; Esteruelas et al., 2003; Pradhan et al.. 2003; Gibson et al.. 2001). The related metal complexes were synthesized from the condensation of 2,6-diacetylpyridine and aniline and were reported last several years (Marganian et al., 1995; Mentes et al., 2001; Trivedi et al.. 2007; Jiang et al.. 2005). Here, we report on the synthesis and crystal structure of analogous Mn(II) complex, (I). The title compound, (I), (Fig. 1) is isostructural with the the analogous nickel(II) complex (Fan et al., 2005). Each Mn(II) atom is coordinated by three N atoms (pyridyl N and two imino N atoms) from Plep Schiff base and two Cl anions, disposed in a distorted trigonal-bipyramid geometry as suggest the bond lengths and three trans angles at Mn(II) (Table 1). The pyridyl N atom and two Cl anions are disposed in the equatorial plane and the aptical position is occupied by two imino N atoms. In each Mn(Plep)Cl2 molecule, the Mn—N(pyridyl) bond is significantly shorter than the Mn—N(imino) bond, with the formal double bond character of the imino bonds N3—C14, N1—C7, N4—C28 and N6—C35 [C=N distances in the range 1.273 (3) to 1.280 (3) Å]. Each of two Mn(II) atoms is coplanar with the N3-ligand plane with the deviations from the plane by 0.0149 Å and 0.0289 Å, respectively. The molecules are held together by intermolecular hydrogen bond C—H···Cl (Table 2a), CH···π (Table 2 b), and p\- pιnteractions (Table 2c) forming a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2). The phenyl ring C4 and pyridyl ring C10 donate H atoms to Cl3 to form C—H···Cli and C—H···Clii hydrogen bonds, respectively [symmetry codes i = -1 + x, y, z; ii = x, y, z]. The Cl3 also accepts H atom from solvent dichloromethane C43 to form C—H···Clii hydrogen bond. Similarly, Cl2 accepts H atoms from C15 and C31 to form C—H···Cliii and C—H···CliV hydrogen bonds [symmetry codes iii = 1 - x, 2 - y, -z; iv = 1 + x, -1 + y, z]. In addition, methyl C29 and C36 atoms donate H atoms to Cl1 to form C—H···Cliv and C—H···Clv hydrogen bonds [symmetry codes v = x, -1 + y, z] (Table 2a, Fig. 2). In addition, the CH···π interaction between methyl group C8 and C11 of the aromatic ring, and p\- pιnteractions between the aromatic rings C22C27 and C37 C42 of the Plep (Table 2c, Fig. 2) are pronounced in this crystal structure. To classify these interactions the numerical criteria given in the literature were used (Štefanić et al., 2006; Nishio et al., 2004).

Experimental top

The ligand Plep (2,6-bis[(1-phenylimino)ethyl]pyridine) was prepared in high yield from condensation of two equivalents of aniline with one equivalent of 2,6-diacetylpyridine in methanol according to the reported paper (Babik et al., 2003). The title complex was synthesized in good yield by treating MnCl2·4H2O with Plep in a mixture solution. To a solution of Plep (0.5 mmol) in a methanol-dichloromethane mixture (1:1 v/v; 10 ml), a solution of MnCl2·4H2O (0.5 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added dropwise at 353 K. After stirring for 2 h, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and filtrated. The resultant filtrate was left to stand to evaporate slowly at room temperature. Red single crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray structure analysis were obtained after a week (yield 72%).

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding, with C—H = 0.95 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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