Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(C(8)H(6)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(2)·2CH(3)NO(2)·H(2)O, contains one half of a cationic Mn(II) complex, a ClO(4) (-) anion, a nitro-methane solvent mol-ecule and one half-mol-ecule of water. The complex mol-ecule and the solvent water mol-ecule are located on a twofold rotation axis. In the complex, the Mn(II) ion has a distorted cis-N(4)O(2) octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by four N atoms of the two chelating 2,2'-bipyrimidine ligands and two O atoms of water mol-ecules. In the crystal, the complex cations, anions and solvent mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯N, O-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The ClO(4) (-) anion is disordered over two sites with a site-occupancy factor of 0.512 (12) for the major component.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
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...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
