title: Crystal structure of bis-[4-(di-methyl-amino)-pyridine-κN (1)]bis-(methanol-κO)bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)manganese(II).
abstract: The whole mol-ecule of the title compound, [Mn(NCS)2(CH3OH)2(C5H6N2)2], is generated by inversion symmetry. The Mn(II) ion, which is located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two 4-(di-methyl-amino)-pyridine ligands, two methanol ligands and two terminally N-bonded thio-cyanate anions, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedron. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming chains extending along the a-axis direction.
