摘要

One novel complex Mn-2(phen)(2)(p-CBA)(4)(H2O) has been hydrothermally synthesized from p-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and anhydrous manganese(II) sulfate and then characterized. Crystal data for this complex: monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 2.3416(3), b = 1.5604(2), c =1.5605(2) nm, beta = 121.048(2)degrees, V = 4.8849(12) nm(3), D-c = 1.510 g/cm(3), M-r = 555.26, Z = 8, mu = 0.798 mm(-1), F(000) = 2256, GOOF = 1.032, the final R = 0.0393 and wR = 0.0816. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring manganese(II) ions are linked together by two bridge-chelating p-chlorobenzoic groups and one bridging water molecule, forming a cage structure with the Mn-Mn bond distance of 0.3512 nm. Each manganese(II) ion is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule and four oxygen atoms from three p-chlorobenzoic acid anions and one water molecule, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The cyclic voltammetric behavior of the complex was also investigated.
