Abstract:
In the title coordination polymer, [MnCl2(C7H5NS)2] n , the Mn(II) ion is located on the inter-section of a twofold rotation axis and a mirror plane and adopts an octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by two mutually trans N atoms from benzo-thia-zole ligands which occupy the axial positions, and four Cl atoms which form the equatorial sites. The Mn(II) ions are connected by two bridging Cl atoms, forming chains parallel to the c axis. The crystal packing can be descibed as alternating layers parallel to (001) featuring π-π stacking inter-actions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.6029 (15) Å.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
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...
