Diazido-bis{2-[3-(dimethyl-amino)propyl-imino-meth-yl]phenol}manganese(III) perchlorate.

ABSTRACT

The title compound, [Mn(N(3))(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O)(2)]ClO(4), was synthesized from manganese(III) acetate, sodium azide and 2-[3-(dimethyl-amino)propyl-imino-meth-yl]phenol by a hydro-thermal reaction. The Mn(III) ion is hexa-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from two phenolate ligands and two N atoms from two azide ligands. The Mn(III) cation lies on an inversion centre and, as a result, the asymmetric unit comprises one half-mol-ecule.
