Abstract

The structures of [Cu(AA)6](ClO4)2, (I), and [Mn(AA)6](ClO4)2, (II) (AA is acryl-amide, also known as prop-2-en-amide; C3H5NO), display both intra- and inter-molecular N-H?O hydrogen bonding. A three-dimensional network is propagated via the perchlorate counter-ions. There are two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in the copper complex, with the most significant difference between them being the conformation of one symmetry-related pair of AA ligands which are in the unusual syn conformation. The copper complex exhibits syn/anti disorder of the =CH2 group in one pair of symmetry-related AA ligands. The CuII and MnII centres are both situated on centres of inversion. The copper complex cation has octa-hedral coordination geometry with typical Jahn-Teller distortions. © 2010 International Union of Crystallography.
