Tetrakis[1-phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-κN 4)propan-1-one]bis(thiocyanato-κN)manganese(II)

In the mononuclear title complex, [Mn(NCS)2(C11H11N3O)4], the MnII atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by two monodentate thiocyanate anions and four monodentate 1-phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-1-one ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. Each complex molecule is linked to four neighboring ones by weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional sheet parallel to (001).
