Tricarbonyl[tris(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl-κN³)methanol]manganese(I) trifluoromethanesulfonate

In the title compound, [Mn(C₁₃H₁₆N₆O)(CO)₃](CF₃O₃S), the Mn^I atom has a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. The three CO ligands have C—Mn—C angles in the range 89.44 (10)–92.31 (9)°, while the three N atoms of the tripodal ligand form significantly smaller N—Mn—N angles of 82.76 (2)–85.51 (6)°. The three N atoms of the tripodal ligand and the three carbonyl ligands coordinate facially. In the crystal, the trifluoro­methane­sulfonate counter anion is connected by a medium-strength O—H...O hydrogen bond to the hydroxyl group of the manganese complex.
