A Rare Example of Manganese Aminopyridinate – Synthesis and Structure
摘要
Lithiated N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-[6-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-pyridine-2-yl]-amine (ApH) undergoes a salt metathesis reaction with MnBr2 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 50 °C in the presence of two equivalents of 4-tert-butylpyridine (tBuPy) to yield only the second example of mononuclear manganese aminopyridinates, [Mn(Ap)2(tBuPy)]. The compound [C59H71MnN5], crystallized in the monoclinic space group, P21/c with unit cell parameters: a = 11.9650(5) b = 17.9530(7) c = 24.3110(10) Å, β = 95.081(3)°, V = 5201.7(4) A3, Z = 4. Hirshfeld analyses show that H⋯H (89.1%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (10.9%) interactions are the two main contributors that lead to intermolecular stabilization in the solid-state structure.
