The cocrystal aquachlorido{6,6′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato-κ4O,N,N′,O′}manganese(III)–chlorido{6,6′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-[1,2-phenylenebis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato-κ4O,N,N′,O′}(methanol-κO)manganese(III) (1/1)

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Mn(C28H30N2O2)Cl(H2O)][Mn(C28H30N2O2)Cl(CH3OH)], contains two discrete MnIII complexes of a Schiff base ligand, with an N2O2 donor set. Both MnIII centers are in a distorted octahedral geometry with the N2O2 donor atoms of the tetradentate Schiff base dianion in the equatorial plane. The axial positions in the coordination environment of one MnIII complex are occupied by a chloride ion and a water molecule, but a methanol molecule replaces the water molecule in the other complex. The coordinated water molecule takes part in an O—H...Cl hydrogen bond between the two MnIII complexes. In the crystal structure, O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite one-dimensional chains along the [100] direction. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds together with weak C—H...O and C—H...Cl interactions. A C—H...π interaction is also observed in the crystal structure.
