Abstract
The whole molecule of the title compound, [Mn(NCS)2(CH3OH)2(C5H6N2)2], is generated by inversion symmetry. The MnII ion, which is located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine ligands, two methanol ligands and two terminally N-bonded thiocyanate anions, forming a slightly distorted octahedron. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming chains extending along the a-axis direction.
Keywords: crystal structure, discrete complex, octahedral coordination, hydrogen bonding

S1. Synthesis and crystallization
MnSO4.H2O was purchased from Merck and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine and Ba(NCS)2.3 H2O were purchased from Alfa Aesar. Mn(NCS)2 was synthesized by stirring 17.97 g (58.44 mmol) Ba(NCS)2.3 H2O and 9.88 g (58.44 mmol) MnSO4.H2O in 300 mL H2O at room temperature for three hours. The white precipitate of BaSO4 was filtered of and the solvent removed with a rotary evaporator. The homogeneity of the product was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and elemental analysis. The title compound was prepared by the reaction of (0.18 mmol) 30.8 mg Mn(NCS)2 and (0.3 mmol) 36.7 mg 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine in 1.0 mL methanol at room temperature. After a few days colorless plate shaped crystals of the title compound were obtained.
S2. Refinement
The C—H H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and were refined isotropically with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C) (1.5 for methyl H atoms) using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å for aromatic and and C—H = 0.98 Å for methyl H atoms. The O—H H atom was located in a difference map, its bond length set to ideal values of 0.85 Å and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O)using a riding model.

Special details
| Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
