Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [MnBr(2)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(H(2)O)(2)](n), contains one monomeric unit of the neutral linear coordination polymer. The Mn(3+) ions are bridged by anionic pyridine-2-carboxyl-ate (pic) ligands, thereby forming a chain-like structure along the c axis, and are six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment by two O atoms of the two different carboxyl-ate groups, two O atoms of two water mol-ecules and two Br atoms. The complex displays inter-molecular O-H⋯Br, O-H⋯N, O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonding. There may also be inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between adjacent pyridine rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.993 (8) Å.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
