Crystal structure of bis(μ-2-benzoylbenzoato-κ2O:O′)bis[bis(2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)manganese(II)] bis(perchlorate)

The title compound, [Mn2(C6H5COC6H4COO)2(C10H8N2)4](ClO4)2, comprises a centrosymmetric binuclear cation and two perchlorate anions. In the complex cation, two MnII atoms are bridged by two O atoms of two different 2-benzoylbenzoate ligands, each MnII atom being further coordinated by two 2,2′-bipyr...

Description
Summary:The title compound, [Mn2(C6H5COC6H4COO)2(C10H8N2)4](ClO4)2, comprises a centrosymmetric binuclear cation and two perchlorate anions. In the complex cation, two MnII atoms are bridged by two O atoms of two different 2-benzoylbenzoate ligands, each MnII atom being further coordinated by two 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) ligands in a distorted octahedral environment. Within the binuclear molecule, the Mn...Mn separation is 4.513 (7) Å. Intermolecular C—H...O and C—H... π interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
