Abstract

The reaction of 2(1H)-pyridinethione (HL) with manganese(II) chloride in ethanolic solution results in the formation of the yellow octahedral complex [Mn(HL)4Cl2]; the crystal and molecular structure of the complex reveals that the two chloride ligands occupy trans axial sites and the four thione ligands are S bonded in the equatorial positions (crystallographic data: space group C2/c, a=13.038(1), b=11.184(1), c=17.353(1) Å, β=104.61(1)°, Z=4, 1940 reflections with F≥4σ(F), R=0.029).
