Popis: The preparations and X-band EPR spectra are reported of a series of manganese(II) complexes with N,N′-butylenebis(imidazole) (=BBI) of the types Mn(BBI)2X2 (X = Cl, Br, NO3, NCS) and [Mn(BBI)3]X2 (X = ClO4, I). An X-ray crystallographic study on Mn(BBI)2Cl2 (1) shows that each Mn atom is coordinated to four imidazole nitrogen atoms and two chloride ions in a trans-octahedral arrangement and that the BBI ligands link the Mn centres into sheets of contiguous 44-membered rings. X-Ray studies on [Mn(BBI)3](ClO4)2, and on analogous compounds containing combinations of ClO4−\PF6− or ClO4−\AsF6− as counter anions, reveal the formation of a family of interpenetrating network structures with anion-dependent cavity sizes.
