Abstract

Manganese(II) chloride reacts with the sodium salt of cis-5-norbornene-endo-2,3-dicarboxylix acid (ndaH2) in aqueous media to give the manganese(II) complex [Mn (nda)H2O] (1). Complex 1 reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) to give the mononuclear manganese(II) adduct [Mn(η1η1-nda)(phen)2]·EtOH·H2O (2). The X-ray crystal structure of 2 shows the manganese atom at the centre of a distorted N4O2 octahedron comprising four nitrogen atoms from two chelating phen ligands, and two oxygen atoms, one from each of the two carbohylate functions of the nda-2 ligand. Spectroscopic and magnetic data for 1 and 2 are reported, together with their catalytic activity towards the disproportionation of H2O2.
