inorganic compounds
The anionic component of the crystal structure of cubic langbeinite-type diammonium dimanganese(II) trisulfate(IV), (NH4)2Mn2(SO4)3, is a three-dimensional [Mn2(SO4)3]2- network based on SO4 tetrahedra corner-linked to MnIIO6 octahedra. The charge-balancing ammonium cations occupy the cavities in the network. The pairs of independent Mn and N atoms lie on special positions of site symmetry 3.
metal-organic compounds
The dinuclear cation of the title compound, [Mn2Cl2(C2H8N2)4]Cl2, has the Cl atoms bridging the ethane-1,2-diamine-chelated Mn atoms across a centre of inversion. The cations are linked to the chloride anions by hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
