Synthesis and the network structure of the supramolecular compound [NEt4][Mn(salophen)(H2O)(2)](2)[Fe(CN)(6)]center dot H2O center dot CH3OH

The supramolecular compound [NEt4][Mn(salophen)(H2O)(2)](2)[Fe(CN)(6)].H2O . CH3OH [salophenH(2) = N, N' - bis( salicylidene) - 1,2 - diaminobenzene] was synthesized by reacting [NEt4](3)[Fe(CN)(6)] with [Mn(salophen)(CH3OH)( H2O)]ClO4 at room temperature. Its structure was determined by X-ray analys is. The crystal belongs to triclinic system, space group P (1) over bar, wi th unit cell dimensions a 1.2150(4) nm, b = 1.4834(6) nm, c = 1.6625(6) nm, alpha = 81.896(7)degrees, beta = 76.980(8)degrees, gamma = 81.120(6)degree s, V = 2.872(2) nm(3), Z = 2, D-c = 1.388 g(.)cm(-3). The network structure of the supramolecule is attributed to the hydrogen bonding in the compound . The results of thermal analysis, IR, UV - vis can also be explained by th e structure data.
