New binuclear complex of bis(2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-2,4,6,8- tetraazabicyclo(3.3.0)octane-3,7-dione-O,O')-diaquatetrakis(nitrato-O,O')-dimanganese(II) monohydrate: Synthesis and crystal structure

Resumo

The centrosymmetric binuclear manganese(II) nitrate complex with a bicyclic bis-carbamide, namely, 2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo(3.3.0)octane-3,7-dione, or mebicar (Mk) [Mn(C₈H₁₄N₄O₂)(H₂O)(NO₃)₂]₂ · H₂O (I), has been synthesized for the first time. The structure of complex I has been solved (CCDC no. 1435139). Crystals of complex I are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 12.8108(11) Å, _b = 10.0662(2) Å, c = 18.6367(17) Å, β = 136.512(16)°, V = 1654.0(4) ų, ρcalcd = 1.659 g/cm³, Z = 2. Each manganese atom is coordinated to the two oxygen atoms of two Mk molecules related by the symmetry codes (1–x, 2–y, 1–z) and to two bidentate nitrate anions and one water molecule. The coordination polyhedron of the manganese atom is a strongly distorted pentagonal bipyramid. The Mn···Mn distance in the complex is 8.7261(9) Å.
