Analysis of the contribution of the π-acidity of the s-tetrazine ring in the crystal packing of coordination polymers

Abstract

Reaction of manganese(II) with the electron-deficient ligand 3,6-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (pbptz) leads to distinct coordination networks whose topologies are influenced by the nature of the anions used. As anticipated, the linear ditopic ligand pbptz is involved in various types of supramolecular π interactions, i.e. π⋯π, lone pair⋯π and C–H⋯π interactions, which clearly play a role in the formation of the different solid-state architectures obtained, as shown by DFT calculations.
