Abstract: One novel complex [Mn(C10H9O3)2(4,4′-bipy)(H2O)2]n with o-2-oxopropanoicbenic acid and 4,4′-bipy. has been synthesized and characterized. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P43212, with a=1.626 0(3) nm, b=1.626 0(3) nm, c=2.103 5(4) nm, V=5.561 4(18) nm3, Dc=1.432 g·cm-3, Z=8, F(000)=2 488. Final GooF=1.001, R1=0.054 7, wR2=0.110 9. The crystal structure shows that the manganese(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms of two 4,4′-bipy molecules and two oxygen atoms from two o-2-oxopropanoicbenic acid molecules and two water molecules, respectively, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The complex molecule forms an one-dimensional chain structure by bridging 4,4′-bipy groups, where the distance between Mn(1) and Mn(2) is 1.144 3 nm. The luminescence property of the complex was also studied. CCDC: 674223. |
