Nitrato(5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphinato)manganese(III)–benzene–n-hexane (2/1/1)

Abstract

The crystal structure of solvated [Mn(TPP)(NO3)] (TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato, C44H28N4), [Mn(C44H28N4O3)(NO3)]·0.5C6H14·0.5C6H6, has been determined in the space group Pccn. The MnIII atom has a distorted square-pyramidal environment, being coordinated by four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin ligand in the basal plane and an O atom of the nitrato ligand in the apical site. The MnIII atom is displaced out of the porphyrin plane by 0.22 (4) Å with the average Mn—Np distance being 2.011 (6) Å (where Np is a porphyrin N atom). The Mn—O bond length is 2.1246 (18) Å. Two kinds of intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds exist in the crystal structure, with the apical nitrato ligands interacting with solvent molecules and adjacent molecules, respectively.
