title: Crystal structure of hexa-kis-(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)manganese(II) tetra-iodide.
abstract: The title salt, [Mn(C2H6OS)6]I4, is made up from discrete [Mn(DMSO)6]2+(DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide) units connected through non-classical hydrogen bonds to linear I42-tetra-iodide anions. The MnIIion in the cation, situated on a position with site symmetry -3., is octa-hedrally coordinated by O atoms of the DMSO mol-ecule with an Mn-O distance of 2.1808 (12) Å. The I42-anion contains a neutral I2mol-ecule weakly coordinated by two iodide ions, forming a linear centrosymmetric tetra-iodide anion. The title compound is isotypic with the Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn analogues.
