Résumé
Crystals of the 1st bis-adduct of 2,5-bis[3-(tert-butylaminoxyl)phenyl]-1,1-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylsilole with bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)manganese(II) are monoclinic, space group P21/n; Z = 2. The Mn atom lies on a crystallog. inversion center and is bound to two chelating hexafluoroacetylacetonate ligands and two monodentate nitroxide groups in a distorted octahedral configuration. The silole ligands present a propeller-like arrangement of the benzene rings around the Si-contg. five-membered ring. The dihedral angles between the complexed nitroxides and the benzene rings to which they are bound are smaller than those found in the free ligand.
