Kb. Dillon et al., The first manganese(II) compound with the saccharinate ligand present bothin the complex cation and as the counter-ion: [Mn(bipy)(2)(sac)(H2O)](+)center dot sac(-), ACT CRYST C, 55, 1999, pp. 330-332
The structure of the title compound, aqua[1,2-benzisothiazol- 3(2H)-onato 1
,1-dioxide-N]bis(2,2'-bipyridine-N,N') manganese(II) 1,2-benzisothiazol-3 (
2H)-onate 1,1-dioxide, [Mn(C7H4NSO3)(C10H8N2)(2)(H2O)](C7H4NSO3), consists
of [Mn(bipy)(2)(sac)(H2O)](+) cations (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine; sac = saccha
rinate, C7H4NO3S) and non-coordinated saccharinate (sac(-)) anions. The Mn-
II ion constitutes the centre of a slightly distorted octahedron, with the
water molecule hydrogen bonded to the N atom in the saccharinate counter-io
n.
