Abstract

In the title coordination polymer, [Mn(C6Cl2O4)(C2H5OH)2] n , the Mn(II) atom and the chloranilate [systematic name: 2,5-di-chloro-3,6-dioxo-cyclo-hexa-1,4-diene-1,4-bis-(olate)] ion lie on crystallographic inversion centers. The geometry around the Mn(II) atom is a distorted octa-hedron involving four O atoms of two chloranilate ions and two O atoms from two ethanol mol-ecules. The chloranilate ion serves as a bridging ligand between the Mn(II) ions, leading to an infinite linear chain along the b-axis direction. The chains are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the apically coordinating ethanol mol-ecule and the chloranilate ion, affording a two-dimensional layer expanding parallel to the ab plane.
