STRUCTURE OF THE COMPLEX OF HEXANUCLEAR MANGANESE PIVALATE WITH ISONICOTINAMIDE
The structure of the [Mn 6(O) 2(Piv) 10L 2] ? compound, where Piv is the pivalate anion and L is isonicotinamide, is investigated. Its solid phase is found to be formed by polymeric layers within which hexanuclear fragments {Mn 6(O) 2(Piv) 10} are bound by bidentate bridging L. The molecules of the solvent (Me 2CO or EtOAc) in which the synthesis was performed are incorporated into the inter-layer space of the crystal.
