Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of bis (acetylacetonato)manganese(II) dihydrate, Mn-(C5H7O2)2·2H2O, has been determined from three-dimentional X-ray diffraction data. The compound has a center of symmetry. The octahedral arrangement of the ligand atoms about the central manganese atom is distorted; the Mn–O(1) and Mn–O(2) distances are 2.129 and 2.150 A, Respectively, the Mn–O(H2O) distance is 2.267 A. The metal atom lies 0.561 A out of the least-squares plane of the chelate ring. The chelate is isostructural with the cobalt, nickel, and magnesium analogues.
