Trans-bis(3-tert-butylpyridine-κN)bis(4-tert-butylpyridine-κN)bis(thiocyanato-κN)manganese(II)
The asymmetric unit of the title compound [Mn(NCS)2(C9H13N)4] consists of one MnII cation located on a center of inversion, one thiocyanato anion, one 3-tert-butylpyridine ligand and one 4-tert-butylpyridine ligand in general positions. The tert-butyl group of the 4-tert-butylpyridine ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.60:0.40 ratio. The MnII cation is coordinated by six N atoms of four tert-butylpyridine ligands and two N-bonded thiocyanato anions within a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)(C6H4NO2)(C2H5OH)]n, the Cd2+ cation is coordinated by one N and two O atoms of two symmetry-related isonicotinate anions, one ethanol molecule and two μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions in a distorted octahedral N2O3S geometry. The metal cations are μ-1,3-bridged via thiocyanate anions into chains that are further connected into layers parallel to the ab plane by bridging isonicotinate anions. The layers are stacked along the c axis. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—HO hydrogen bonds.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C9H13N)4], consists of one CdII cation located on a centre of inversion, one thiocyanate anion, one 3-tert-butylpyridine ligand and one 4-tert-butylpyridine ligand in general positions. The tert-butyl group of the 4-tert-butylpyridine ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.25:0.75 ratio and was refined using a split model. The CdII cation is coordinated by six N atoms of four tert-butylpyridine ligands and two N-bonded thiocyanate anions within a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment.
