Reaction of methanol ligated manganese(II) silanethiolate with pyridine related ligands - Different structures of complexes with MnNO2S2 kernel

Using pyridine and three picolines (L) different kinds of heteroleptic manganese(II) trialkoxysilanethiolate complexes [Mn{SSi(OBut)3}2(L)(MeOH)n] were prepared. Their structure depends of a presence and position of the methyl substituent in the N-donor ligand.
