title: Chloro[2,2'-[(1S,2S)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato-kappa4O,N,N',O'](ethanol-kappaO)manganese(III).
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [MnCl(C(28)H(22)N(2)O(2))(C(2)H(6)O)], has been determined at 173 (2) K in the non-centrosymmetric space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The asymmetric unit contains two molecular units. An intermolecular O-H.Cl hydrogen bond is formed between the OH group of an ethanol molecule coordinated to the Mn atom and the coordinated Cl(-) anion, and so polymeric chains of Mn-containing fragments are formed [O-H.Cl = 3.1281 (16) and 3.1282 (15) A]. The Mn atoms have a pseudo-octahedral coordination sphere, with the four donor atoms of the Schiff base forming an equatorial plane [Mn-O distances are 1.8740 (13), 1.8717 (13), 1.8749 (13) and 1.8823 (13) A, and Mn-N distances are 1.9868 (15), 1.9910 (14), 1.9828 (15) and 1.9979 (14) A]. The axial positions are occupied by an ethanol molecule [Mn-O distances of 2.3069 (15) and 2.3130 (15) A] and a Cl(-) ligand [Mn-Cl distances of 2.5732 (6) and 2.5509 (6) A].
