Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Manganese（Ⅱ） Complex with 2,4-Pyridine-dicarboxylic Acid and 2,2′-Bipyridine Ligands

A new metal-organic complex [Mn2（PDC）2（bipy）2（H2O）2] （H2PDC = 2,4-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid, bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine） 1 has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in triclinic, space group P ^-1 with a = 7.376（3）, b = 9.990（4）, c = 11.950（5） A^°, α= 75.217（5）, β = 78.052（5）, γ = 70.655（5）°, V = 796.0（5）A^°3, C34HE6Mn2N6O10, Mr = 788.49, De = 1.645 g/cm^3,μ（MoKa） = 0.866 mm^-1, F（000） = 235, Z = 1, the final R = 0.0425 and wR = 0.0700 for 1971 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））. In the crystal structure, the manganese atom is six-coordinated by two carboxylate oxygen atoms from two different PDC ligands, one aqua ligand, and three nitrogen atoms from 2,2′-bipy and PDC ligands, giving a distorted octahedral geometry. It exhibits a three-dimensional supramolecular network defined by O-H…O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
