title: Bis{μ-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}bis-[(thio-cyanato)manganese(III)].
abstract: The reported structure is a monoclinic polymorph of the title compound, [Mn(2)(C(16)H(14)N(2)O(2))(2)(NCS)(2)], which has been characterized previously in an ortho-rhom-bic form. Each Mn(III) atom is chelated by a tetra-dentate 2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolate ligand and by the N atom of a thio-cyanate anion, in a square-pyramidal arrangement. The complexes form centrosymmetric dimers, with an Mn-O contact of 2.557 (3) Å trans to each thio-cyanate anion, completing a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry.
