Abstract

The title complex, [Mn(NCS)(2)(C(13)H(19)NO(4))] {systematic name: [3,6,9,12-tetra-oxa-18-aza-bicyclo-[12.3.1]octa-cosa-14(18),15,17-triene-κ(5)N,O,O',O'',O''']bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)manganese(I-I)}, was obtained by the reaction of MnCl(2)·4H(2)O and NaSCN with pyridino-15-crown-5. The Mn(2+) center has a distorted penta-gonal bipyramidal coordination geometry, coordinated by four O atoms and one N atom of the pyridino-15-crown-5 mol-ecule, and by the N atoms of the two NCS(-) ligands.
