Cover illustration: Work in the area of synthesis of polynuclear manganese complexes and their magnetic properties led to the synthesis and crystallization of the compound di-μ-benzoato-di-μ-ethano­lato-tetra­kis­[μ3-5-(hy­droxy­meth­yl)-2-methyl-4-(oxidometh­yl)pyridin-1-ium-3-olato]tetra­kis­[μ3-5-(hy­droxy­meth­yl)-2-methyl-4-(oxidometh­yl)pyridin-3-olato]di-μ3-oxido-hepta­manganese(II,III) ethanol octa­solvate, [Mn7(C8H9NO3)4(C8H10NO3)4(C2H5O)2(C7H5O2)2O2]·8C2H5OH. The compound was synthesized by the reaction of Mn(C6H5COO)2 with pyridoxine (PNH2, C8H11NO3) followed by the addition of tetra­methyl­ammonium hydroxide (TMAOH). The core of this centrosymmetric complex is a cage-like structure consisting of six MnIII ions and one MnII ion bound together through Mn—O bonds. The compound crystallizes in hydrogen-bonded layers formed by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the aromatic amine group of the ligand PN2− with the neighboring O atoms from the PNH ligand. The crystal structure has large voids present in which highly disordered solvent mol­ecules (ethanol) sit. See: Saha, Padgett, LeMagueres, Moncur & Onajobi [IUCrData (2020). 5, x201578].

The title compound is an inter­mediate for the synthesis of iso­quinoline fluorine analogues. The structure presents a racemic mixture of enanti­omers. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between neighbouring mol­ecules form chains of mol­ecules along the a-axis direction.

In the title compound, the mean planes of the indene ring and quinoxaline system are approximately parallel to one another, making a dihedral angle of 1.2 (5)°. The indeno­[1,2-b]quinoxaline ring is almost in the same plane.

The title compound crystallizes in strands of enanti­omeric mol­ecules connected via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. There are only slight deviations from an ideal gauche conformation in the deca­methyl­ene chain, indicating just a little strain.

In the title compound, two benzene rings bearing meth­oxy substituents are connected by central acetyl­pyrazoline ring: the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 83.7 (1)°. In the crystal, pairwise C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate inversion dimers and additional weak C—H⋯O inter­actions link the dimers into chains propagating along the c-axis direction.
