Bis[2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-phenolato]-dimethanol-manganese(III) chloride
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Mn(C(13)H(9)N(2)O)(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)]Cl, the Mn(III) atom (site symmetry ) is coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenolate ligands and two methanol mol-ecules, to generate a distorted trans-MnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry for the metal ion. The dihedral angle between the aromatic ring systems in the ligand is 16.0 (3)°. In the crystal structure, the complex cations and chloride anions are linked by O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The chloride ion lies on a crystallographic twofold axis.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
