Intramolecular hydrogen bond occurs between N1-H1. . .O2
[2.584(3) Å] and N2-H2. . .O3 [2.590(3) Å] atoms for the title
molecule (Figure 1), respectively. The sum of the Van der Waals
radius of the O and N atoms (3.07 Å) is significantly longer than
the intramolecular O. . .N hydrogen bond length.[46]
The compounds which have C-N group seem to have a weak
electron withdrawing character. Thus, in the title complex, O2-
C14 and O3-C16 bond distances of 1.303(4) Å and 1.302(4) Å is
also consistent with the C O double bonding. The C O bond
distance Å indicates the presence of the keto form, with a partial
double bond character of the CO group (>C O ↔C+-O−). X-
ray structure determinations reveal that the ketoamine tautomer
is favored over the enolimine tautomer for the ligand. This is
evident from the observed O-C bond distance of 1.303(4) Å and
1.302(4) Å, which is consistent with the O C double bond;
similarly the N-C distance of N1-C8 1.293(4) Å and N2-C23
1.284(4) Å is also consistent with the N-C single bonding.[36]
The ligand exists as dominant form of ketoamines in solid state.
FIG. 6. DTA-TG spectrum of the title complex (color figure available online).
shows only two broad band at 265 nm and 331 nm, which is
assigned to the π–π∗and n–π∗ transition of the C C and C N.
On complexation, these bands are not changed. The complex
showed same UV-vis spectrum with the ligand. The complex
does not show any d-d transitions but display charge transfer

Thermal studies (DTA-TG) of the Mn(II) complex was per-
formed in the temperature range 25–1000◦C, at a heating rate of
10◦C/min in a air atmosphere (Figure 6). The complex decom-
poses in two stages. The first step 225–590◦C resulted in a mass
loss of 45.10%, corresponding to the loss of 2-chlorobenzylamin
groups. In the second step, two chloride molecules and aldehyde
groups were lost in the 590–900◦C range from the Mn(II) com-
plex, with a mass loss of 42.5%. A plateau was obtained after
heating above 900◦C, which corresponds to the formation of
stable MnO2. The weight of MnO2 amounted to 12.4%, which
shows a good agreement with the metal analysis.

Crystallographic Study
The molecule crystallizes in the triclinic space group. The
perspective view of compound together with the atomic num-
bering scheme is illustrated in Figure 1. The coordination envi-
ronment about Mn is compressed along the crystallographic c
axis in such a way that of the O3-Mn-O2 angle is greater and
Cl2-Mn-Cl3 angle is shorter than the tetrahedral angle, with
values O3-Mn-O2 134.93(11)◦ and Cl2-Mn-Cl3 106.61(4)◦.
The remaining O-Mn-Cl angles are less than 100◦ (O2-Mn-Cl2
95.88(7)◦ and O3-Mn-Cl3 93.96(7)◦).

The central manganese atom is four-coordinated to form a
distortedtetrahedral geometry, withtwooxygendonorsofligand
and two Cl donors of MnCl2.4H2O. The distances of the two Mn-
O bonds are nearly equivalent, being Mn-O3 2.062(2) Å and Mn-
O2 2.063(2) Å, within the reported range in polypyridyl Mn(II)
complexes.[45] The two Mn-Cl bonds are equivalent, being Mn-
Cl2 2.402(1) Å and Mn-Cl3 2.405(1) Å. The ligand coordinates
to the Mn(II) center forming a monomember coordination ring.
