Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Manganese（Ⅱ） Complex with 2-（4′-Chlorine- benzoyl）-benzoic Acid and 1,10-Phenanthroline

A new metal-organic complex Mn2（cbba）4（phen）2 （Hcbba = 2-（4＇-chlorine-benzoyl）- benzoic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline） 1 has been hydrotherrnally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy. The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic, space group Pbcn with α = 12.154（5）, b = 18.166（7）, c = 31.197（13） A, V = 6887（5） A^3, C80H48Cl4Mn2N4O12, Mr= 1508.90, Dc = 1.455 g/cm^3, μ（MoKα） = 0.591 mm^-1, F（000） = 3080, Z = 4, the final R = 0.0408 and wR = 0.0873 for 4033 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. In the crystal structure, the manganese atom is six-coordinated with four carboxylate oxygen atoms from three different cbba ligands and two nitrogen atoms from phen ligands, showing a distorted octahedral geometry. Furthermore, it exhibits a 3D supramolecular network through π-π interactions.
