Synthesis and crystal structure of tris(morpholinecarbodithioato-S,S′)manganese(IV)pentaiodide–dichloromethane (2/1)

Abstract

The compound [Mn(S₂CNC₄H₈O)₃]I₅·0.5CH₂Cl₂ has been prepared by reaction of tris(morpholine-carbodithioato-S,S′)manganese(III), [Mn(S₂CNC₄H₈O)₃], with iodine in CH₂Cl₂ solution. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 295 K. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a= 20.451(9), b= 18.910(5), c= 18.714(5)Å, β= 109.68(2)°, U= 6 814(4)ų, and Z= 8. The structure comprises anionic layers composed of chains of V-shaped I₅^– units interposed by differently inclined [Mn(S₂CNC₄H₈O)₃]⁺ cations.
