Bis(benzoyl-acetonato)bis-(1,3-di-4-pyridyl-propane)manganese(II)
Abstract:
In the title compound, [Mn(C(10)H(9)O(2))(2)(C(13)H(14)N(2))(2)], the Mn(II) ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. Weak π-π stacking inter-actions, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.862 (2) and 3.887 (5) Å, and significant C-H⋯π inter-actions help to stabilize the crystal structure. The atoms of the unique terminal 4-pyridine-propane group are disordered over two sites, the ratio of refined occpancies being 0.712 (7):0.288 (7).

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
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.
