Popis: In this work, the (MnCl2(C6N10H6) complex has been synthesized via solid-state reaction between manganese (II) chloride and melamine in the molar ratio of 1:2. A similar synthesis has been repeated with CoCl2, and FeCl2, resulting in two new metal–melam complexes (FeCl2(C6N11H9) and CoCl2(C6N11H9)). MnCl2(C6N10H6) crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with the space group I2/a. The crystalline powder of MnCl2(C6N10H6) was studied by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis to examine its structure and properties. MnCl2(C6N10H6) also shows good thermal stability up to 370 °C; however, the complete decomposition occurred at 900 °C, yielding Mn7C3. This paper presents an easy synthesis of the first luminescent transition metal–melem complex, providing new insights into the reactivity of melamine at elevated temperatures in the presence of transition metal chlorides.
