A new manganese(II) complex [MnL2(NCS)2]·2H2O with the Schiff base ligand derived from 3-bromosalicylaldehyde withN-cyclohexylpropane-1,3-diamine has been synthesized and structurally characterized by physicochemical methods and single-crystal X-ray determination. The crystal of the complex crystallizes in monoclinic space groupC2/c, witha= 24.749(2),b= 7.2957(7),c= 26.183(4) Å,β= 118.70(2)°,V= 4171.6(8) Å3,Z= 4,R1= 0.0893,wR2= 0.2305, GOOF = 1.084. X-ray analysis indicates that the complex is a mononuclear manganese species, which possesses crystallographic inversion center symmetry. The Mn atom, lying on the inversion center, is coordinated in an octahedral coordination by two phenolate O and two imine N atoms from two Schiff base ligands, and two thiocyanate N atoms. The catalytic property for epoxidation of styrene by the complex has also been tested. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Two new dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes, [MoO2 (Cinh)(CH3OH)] (1) and [MoO2(Minh)(CH3OH)] (2), with the isonicotinohydrazone ligands H2Cinh and H2Minh derived from isonicotinohydrazide with 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde and 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde, respectively, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by physico-chemical methods and single crystal X-ray determination. The crystal of (1) crystallizes in triclinic space group P-1, with a = 6.553(2), b = 10.737(4), c = 12.907(4) Å, α = 68.021(2), β = 83.788(3), γ = 75.072(3)°, V = 813.6(5) Å3, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0291, wR2 = 0.0617, S = 1.044. The crystal of (2) crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/n, with a = 6.792(2), b = 30.259(4), c = 7.920(3) Å, β = 93.703(3)°, V = 1624.3(8) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0501, wR2 = 0.1250, S = 1.087. X-ray analysis indicates that the structures of both complexes are similar to each other. The molybdenum atom in each complex is in an octahedral coordination environment, constructed by two oxo groups and NO2 donor set of the isonicotinohydrazone ligand, and one methanol O atom.
