A new 1D manganese(II) coordination polymer with end-to-end azide bridge and isonicotinoylhydrazone Schiff base ligand: Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface, NBO and thermal analyses

Abstract

A new manganese (II) coordination polymer, [MnL2 (μ-1,3-N3)2]n, with co-ligands including azide anion and Schiff base based on isonicotinoylhydrazone has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure determination shows that the azide ligand acts as end-to-end (EE) bridging ligand and generates a one-dimensional coordination polymer. In this compound, each manganes (II) metal center is hexa-coordinated by four azide nitrogens and two pyridinic nitrogens for the formation of octahedral geometry. The analysis of crystal packing indicates that the 1D chain of [MnL2 (μ-1,3-N3)2]n, is stabilized as a 3D supramolecular network by intra- and inter-chain intermolecular interactions of X–..
