Two new complexes of manganese(III), [Mn(salen)(p-ClC6H4CO2)H2O] and [Mn(msalen)(C6H5CO2)H2O] have been synthesized from
their manganese(II) carboxylate precursors [H2salen=N,N
-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane and H2msalen=N,N
-bis(3-
methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane]. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that the Jahn-Teller distorted octahedral complexes
are stabilized by H-bonded chains in the solid state.
Key words: manganese(III); Schiff base; carboxylate; H-bond interactions; supramolecular assembly.
