Catena-Poly[[[Diaqua­Bis[4-(Diethyl­Amino)Benzoato-Κo]Manganese(II)]-Μ-Aqua] Dihydrate]

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title complex, {[Mn(C11H14NO2)2(H2O)3]·2H2O}n, the two independent MnII atoms are located on a centre of symmetry and coordinated by two 4-(diethyl­amino)benzoate (DEAB) anions and two water mol­ecules in the basal plane while another water mol­ecule bridges the Mn atoms in the apical directions, forming polymeric chains. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl­ate groups and the adjacent benzene rings are 11.33 (13) and 10.90 (9)° and the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 67.88 (6)°. The uncoordinated water mol­ecules link the carboxyl­ate groups and coordinated water mol­ecules via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. Weak C—H⋯π inter­actions are also found in the crystal structure.
