Abstract: | Yellow crystals of [Mn(H2O)2(bpy)(C4H4O4)] · H2O were obtained by the reaction of 2,2′‐bipyridine, succinic acid, MnSO4 · H2O and Na2CO3 in an aqueous methanol solution. The crystal structure (monoclinic, P21/c (no. 14), a = 8.294(1), b = 11.556(1), c = 17.064(1)Å, β = 95.181(6)°, Z = 4, R = 0.0349, wR2 = 0.0887) consists of 1D supramolecular helix chains [Mn(H2O)2(bpy)(C4H4O4)2/2] and hydrogen bonded H2O molecules. The Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one bidentate chelating bpy ligand and four O atoms of two H2O molecules and two bis‐monodentate bridging succinato ligands with d(Mn–O) = 2.139–2.237Å and d(Mn–N) = 2.268, 2.281 Å. The helix chains are held together by π‐π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. |
