trans-Dichlorido(1,4,8,11-tetra­azacyclo­tetra­deca­ne)manganese(III) tetra­fluorido­borate

In the title manganese(III) complex, [MnCl(2)(C(10)H(24)N(4))]BF(4) or trans-[MnCl(2)(cyclam)]BF(4) (cyclam is the tetra­dentate amine ligand 1,4,8,11-tetra­azacyclo­tetra­deca­ne), the Mn(III) ions occupy the center of a distorted octa­hedron coordinated by all four ligand nitro­gen donors in the macrobicyclic cavity and two chloride ions occupy the axial positions. Intra­molecular hydrogen bonding involving the coordinated chloride ions and the hydrogen atoms of the cyclam ligand is observed. Inter­molecular hydrogen bonding involving the tetrafluoridoborate anion and hydrogen atoms of the cyclam ligand leads to an infinite one-dimensional chain along the a axis. The tetra­fluoridoborate and inorganic units are linked by N—H⋯F hydrogen bonds. The structure may be compared with those of analogous compounds [MnCl(2)(cyclam)]ClO(4) and [Mn(CN)(2)(cyclam)]ClO(4).
