Abstract: | We have synthesized high-spin mixed-ligand Mn2+ complexes Mn(S2COR)2L where R=i−C3H7, i−C4H9; L=1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), 2,2′-bipyridyl (2,2′-Bipy), 4,4′-bipyridyl (4,4′-Bipy)]. As solids, the compounds are stable
to oxidation by atmospheric oxygen. An X-ray structural study of the Mn(S2COC3H7−i)2(2,2′-Bipy)] complex was carried out. The structure is composed of discrete monomeric molecules. The corrdination polyhedron
of the Mn atom is a distorted 4S+2N] octahedron. The molecules are bonded by van der Waals interactions.
