We report the synthesis and structures of two transition-metal complexes involving 2-(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)benzimidazole (2hpbi - a ligand of inter-est for its photoluminescent applications), with cobalt, namely, bis-[μ-2-(1-1,3-benzo-diazol-2-yl)phenolato]bis-[ethanol(thio-cyanato)-cobalt(II)], [Co(CHNO)(NCS)(CHO)], (), and manganese, namely, bis-[μ-2-(1-1,3-benzo-diazol-2-yl)phenolato]bis-{2-(1-1,3-benzo-diazol-2-yl)phenolato-mang-an-ese(III)} dihydrate, [Mn(CHNO)(NCS)]·2HO, (). These structures are two recent examples of a fruitful collaboration between researchers at the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination Organique/Organic Coordination Chemistry Laboratory (LCCO), University of Dakar, Senegal and the National Crystallography Service (NCS), School of Chemistry, University Southampton, UK. This productive partnership was forged through meeting at Pan-African Conferences on Crystallography and quickly grew as the plans for the AfCA (African Crystallographic Association) developed. This article therefore also showcases this productive partnership, in celebration of the IUCr's 75 year anniversary and the recent inclusion of AfCA as a Regional Associate of the IUCr.
我们报道了两种过渡金属配合物的合成与结构，这两种配合物涉及2-(2-羟基苯基)苯并咪唑（2hpbi，一种因其光致发光应用而备受关注的配体），分别与钴形成双-[μ-2-(1,3-苯并二唑-2-基)苯酚根]双-[乙醇(硫氰酸根)-钴(II)]，[Co(CHNO)(NCS)(CHO)]，（），以及与锰形成双-[μ-2-(1,3-苯并二唑-2-基)苯酚根]双-{2-(1,3-苯并二唑-2-基)苯酚根-锰(III)}二水合物，[Mn(CHNO)(NCS)]·2HO，（）。这些结构是塞内加尔达喀尔大学有机配位化学实验室（LCCO）的研究人员与英国南安普顿大学化学学院国家晶体学服务中心（NCS）之间卓有成效合作的两个最新实例。这种富有成效的伙伴关系是通过在泛非晶体学会议上的会面而建立的，并随着非洲晶体学协会（AfCA）计划的发展而迅速发展。因此，本文也展示了这种富有成效的伙伴关系，以庆祝国际晶体学联盟成立75周年以及AfCA最近被接纳为国际晶体学联盟的区域协会成员。
