catena-Poly[[bis(acetonitrile-kappaN)manganese(II)]-bis(mu-trifluoromethanesulfonato-kappa2O:O')]

The title compound, [Mn(CF(3)SO(3))(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)](n), has an Mn(II) cation on an inversion centre in an octahedral environment. The trifluoromethanesulfonate anions act as bridging ligands and form a one-dimensional coordination polymer in the direction of the a axis. The F atoms of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anions form layers parallel to the ab plane, but despite short intermolecular distances, no stabilizing F...F interactions are detected. The Mn-N and C-C bonds of the acetonitrile ligand are analyzed according to the Hirshfeld rigid-bond test. Renninger effects in the reflection data are considered, explored and discussed.
