M. Andruh et al., SYNTHESIS AND X-RAY STRUCTURE OF THE POLYNUCLEAR COMPLEX OROACETATO-O,O')(1,10-PHENANTHROLINE)MANGANESE(II), Polyhedron, 12(23), 1993, pp. 2901-2903
The reaction of Mn(CF3COO)2 (1) and 1,10-phenanthroline in 1:1 molar r
atio yields the polynuclear compound [Mn(CF3COO)2(phen)]n 2. The cryst
al structure of 2 reveals zig-zag infinite chains with syn-syn bridgin
g trifluoroacetate ions.
