Abstract: | We have prepared the Mn(III) complexes rac-NaMn(EHPG)]·3H2O (1) and rac,meso-NaMn(EHPG)]·H2O (2), where H4EHPG is ethylenebis(o-hydroxyphenyl)glycine], and determined their X-ray crystal structures. Complex 1 contains N(S,S)C(R,R) configurations at the N and C stereogenic centres, whilst in the unit cell of complex 2 there are two independent molecules, 2a (meso) and 2b (rac), with N(R,R)C(S,R) and N(R,R)C(S,S) configurations, respectively. Enantiomers of each complex are also present. The Mn(III) centres have Jahn-Teller-distorted octahedral geometry. The rac isomer has two long axial MnO(carboxylate) bonds (2.162-2.202 Å) and the equatorial plane contains two short MnN bonds (2.012-2.063 Å) trans to short MnO(phenolate) bonds (1.865-1.901 Å). The meso isomer has long axial MnN (2.194 Å) and MnO(carboxylate) (2.152 Å) bonds, and shorter equatorial MnN (2.005 Å) trans to MnO(phenolate) (1.901 Å) and MnO(carboxylate) (1.988 Å) trans to O(phenolate) (1.897 Å) bonds. |
