Synthesis,Structure and Characterization of a New Complex: [Mn(C_6H_(12)N_4)_2(H_2O)_4][Mn(H_2O)_6][SO_4]_2·6H_2O

A novel complex,[Mn(C_6H_(12)N_4)_2(H_2O)_4][Mn(H_2O)_6][SO_4]_2·6H_2O,was synthesized and hexagonal single crystals with centimeter-scale sizes were obtained by the method of solvent evaporation.It was characterized by elemental analysis,infrared spectrum,thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray single-crystal diffraction.The complex belongs to triclinic crystal system,space group P■ with a=9.3390(8),b=13.3520(13),c=16.3207(13)?,α=100.7160(3)°,β=90.1020(10)°,γ=109.9490(5)°,V=1874.9(3)?~3,Z=2,D_c=1.542 g/cm~3,M_r=870.64,μ=0.876 mm~(-1),T=293(2) K,F(000)=916 and S=0.990.The crystal structure determination displayed a distorted octahedral geometry around the manganese atom,which is bound to two nitrogen atoms from hexamethylenetetramine,acting as monodentate ligands,and to four aqua ligands.Variable-temperature magnetic measurements of the complex indicate the presence of weak antiferromagnetic interaction between manganese centers.
