In both phases, the metal ion lies on a crystallographic twofold axis and is coordinated by two chelating C₅HO₂F₆ ^? anions and two bridging bipyridyl ligands to generate a cis-MnN₂O₄ octahedron.

Two new oxovanadium(V) complexes, [VOL¹(OCH₃)(CH₃OH)] (I) and [VOL²(OCH₃)] (II), where L¹ and L² are the di-anionic form of N'-[1-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]nicotinohydrazide and N'-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxynaphthylhydrazide, respectively, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, and single crystal X-ray determination (CIF files CCDC nos. 891852 (I), 891853 (II)). The crystal of I is monoclinic: space group P2₁/c, a = 8.061(1), b = 15.293(2), c = 13.471(2) Å, ß = 92.595(2)°, V = 1658.8(4) ų, Z = 4. The crystal of II is monoclinic: space group P2₁/n, a = 7.4454(9), b = 8.0833(9), c = 28.906(2) Å, ß = 92.644(2)°, V = 1737.8(3) ų, Z = 4. The V atom in I is in an octahedral coordination, and that in II is in a square-pyramidal coordination. The antibacterial activity of the compounds against various bacteria was assayed.
