Abstract:
In the title compound, [MnBr(C(10)H(9)N(3))(2)(H(2)O)]Br, the Mn(II) ion is six-coordinated in a considerably distorted cis-N(4)BrO octa-hedral environment defined by four N atoms of two chelating di-2-pyridyl-amine (dpa) ligands, one Br(-) anion and one O atom of a water ligand. As a result of the different trans effects of Br, N and O atoms, the Mn-N bond trans to the Br atom is slightly longer than the Mn-N bond trans to the N or O atoms. In the crystal, the dpa ligands are not planar, the dihedral angles between the two pyridine rings being 29.2 (4) and 28.2 (3)°. The complex cations and the Br(-) anions are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯Br and N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. Inter-molecular π-π inter-actions are present between the pyridine rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.793 (4) Å.

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...
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.
