Abstract:
Employing a variety of solvents and molar ratios, the reactions of
Mn(NO3)(2). 6H(2)O with N,N’-dimethylurea (DMU) afforded the adduct
[Mn(NO3)(2)(DMU)(3)] (1). X-ray analysis shows that the high-spin
complex has a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry with two DMU oxygen atoms
in axial positions and with two types of monodentate O-bonding for the
DMU molecules, one of them being very unusual. The spectroscopic
properties of the prepared complex are also discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier
