Hexaamminecobalt(III) hexa-cyanido-manganate(III).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Co(NH(3))(6)][Mn(CN)(6)], contains one Co and one Mn atom, both lying on threefold inversion axes, and one NH(3) and one CN group. The octa-hedral environments around Co(II) and Mn(II) are generated by symmetry and show very slight deviations from ideal geometry. A three-dimensional network is created by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
