title: Azido{4,4'-dibromo-2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diyl-bis(nitrilo-methanylylidene)]diphenol-ato-κO,N,N',O'}manganese(III).
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(16)H(12)Br(2)N(2)O(2))(N(3))], the Mn(III) ion is chelated by a tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and coordinated by the N atom of an azide ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal arrangement. It forms phenolate-bridged out-of-plane dimers with Mn⋯O(phenolate) distances of 2.667 (2) Å between pairs of inversion-related mol-ecules. In the crystal, there are offset inter-complex face-to-face π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.598 (2) Å] involving one of the benzene rings of the ligands.
