Crystal structure of a molecular complex of acetylacetone with manganese(II) bromide, MnBr2(C5H8O2)2

The crystal structure of a molecular complex of acetylacetone with MnBr2 has been determined by an X-ray diffraction analysis: the manganese and bromine atoms constitute an infinite chain (MnBr2)∞ and two enolic acetylacetone molecules are linked to each metal atom as unidentate ligands, thus constructing the octahedral arrangement of [MnBr4O2].
