Work on the 37-bedded ICU at the new super specialty block of district Wenlock Hospital is in final stages of completion. Part of area-based development of Mangaluru Smart City mission, new ICU that is being set up will initially be used to handle need for this critical life support system that the global pandemic could bring forth

Arrival of a migrant labourer from Bagalkot in a truck has created panic among residents of Urwa in the city. People in the area insisted that he should be quarantined and undergo tests for Covid-19. In fact, the migrant labourer, who is a native of Bagalkot, was working in Mangaluru. He had gone to his native place in Bagalkot before the lockdown announcement in March.

Responding to a demand from industries - many of which are struggling without labour even after relaxation - the government has instructed officials in the districts to facilitate movement of workers from various parts of Karnataka to Bengaluru and other industrial districts to kickstart the recovery process.

Two expatriates test positive in Kerala; Karnataka focuses on Bengaluru cases

Two women, who tested positive for Covid-19 and residents of the containment zone in Padarayanapura, Bengaluru, gave birth to three babies on Saturday morning. A 20-year-old woman delivered twin babies at the Trauma Care Centre. On Friday, a 34-year-old woman gave birth to a girl. Both women underwent C-sections.

The title compound, (C9H8N)2[MnBr4], consists of two quinolinium cations and a [MnBr4]2− anion. The manganese(II) atom, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four bromide ligands and exhibits a tetra­hedral coordination geometry. The [MnBr4]2− anion and the quinolinium cations are linked by N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. π–π stacking inter­actions are observed between the quinolinium cations.

The title compound, {(C9H11N2)[Mn(NCS)3]}n, has been obtained as a side product of the salt metathesis reaction of 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium bromide, (EMIm)Br, and K2[Mn(NCS)4]. The structure consists of discrete 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium cations and an anionic two-dimensional network of manganese(II)-based complex anions, inter­connected by thio­cyanate ions. Every Mn2+ ion is coordinated by three S atoms of three NCS− ions and three N atoms of further three NCS− ions in a meridional octa­hedral fashion.

The title compound, (C15H23N2)2[MnBr4], comprises two N-adamantyl-N'-ethyl­imidazolium cations and one tetra­hedral [MnBr4]2− anion. Next to Coulombic inter­actions, weak hydrogen bonds of the type C—H⋯Br consolidate the crystal packing, building up a three-dimensional network.

Four manganese(II) bromide coordination complexes have been prepared with four pyridine N-oxides, viz. pyridine N-oxide (PNO), 2-methyl­pyridine N-oxide (2MePNO), 3-methyl­pyridine N-oxide (3MePNO), and 4-methyl­pyridine N-oxide (4MePNO). The compounds are bis­(μ-pyridine N-oxide)bis­[aqua­dibromido­(pyridine N-oxide)manganese(II)], [Mn2Br4(C5H5NO)4(H2O)2] (I), bis­(μ-2-methyl­pyridine N-oxide)bis­[di­aqua­dibromido­manganese(II)]–2-methyl­pyridine N-oxide (1/2), [Mn2Br4(C6H7NO)2(H2O)4]·2C6H7NO (II), bis­(μ-3-methyl­pyridine N-oxide)bis­[aqua­dibromido­(3-methyl­pyridine N-oxide)manganese(II)], [Mn2Br4(C6H7NO)4(H2O)2] (III), and bis­(μ-4-methyl­pyridine N-oxide)bis­[di­bromido­methanol(4-methyl­pyridine N-oxide)manganese(II)], [Mn2Br4(C6H7NO)4(CH3OH)2] (IV). All the compounds have one unique MnII atom and form a dimeric complex that contains two MnII atoms related by a crystallographic inversion center. Pseudo-octa­hedral six-coordinate manganese(II) centers are found in all four compounds. All four compounds form dimers of Mn atoms bridged by the oxygen atom of the PNO ligand. Compounds I, II and III exhibit a bound water of solvation, whereas compound IV contains a bound methanol mol­ecule of solvation. Compounds I, III and IV exhibit the same arrangement of mol­ecules around each manganese atom, ligated by two bromide ions, oxygen atoms of two PNO ligands and one solvent mol­ecule, whereas in compound II each manganese atom is ligated by two bromide ions, one O atom of a PNO ligand and two water mol­ecules with a second PNO mol­ecule inter­acting with the complex via hydrogen bonding through the bound water mol­ecules. All of the compounds form extended hydrogen-bonding networks, and compounds I, II, and IV exhibit offset π-stacking between PNO ligands of neighboring dimers.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Mn2Sb2S5(C15H11N3)2]·4H2O}n, consists of two crystallographically independent MnII ions, two unique terpyridine ligands, one [Sb2S5]4− anion and four solvent water mol­ecules, all of which are located in general positions. The [Sb2S5]4− anion consists of two SbS3 units that share common corners. Each of the MnII ions is fivefold coordinated by two symmetry-related S atoms of [Sb2S5]4− anions and three N atoms of a terpyridine ligand within an irregular coordination. Each two anions are linked by two [Mn(terpyridine)]2+ cations into chains along the c-axis direction that consist of eight-membered Mn2Sb2S4 rings. These chains are further connected into a three-dimensional network by inter­molecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. The crystal investigated was twinned and therefore, a twin refinement using data in HKLF-5 [Sheldrick (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 3–8] format was performed.

Two new mononuclear metal complexes involving the bidentate Schiff base ligand 2,4,6-trimethyl-N-[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl­idene]aniline (C15H16N2 or PM-TMA), [Mn(NCS)2(PM-TMA)2] (I) and [Ni(NCS)2(PM-TMA)2] (II), were synthesized and their structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Although the title compounds crystallize in different crystal systems [triclinic for (I) and monoclinic for (II)], both asymmetric units consist of one-half of the complex mol­ecule, i.e. one metal(II) cation, one PM-TMA ligand, and one N-bound thio­cyanate anion. In both complexes, the metal(II) cation is located on a centre of inversion and adopts a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment defined by four N atoms from two symmetry-related PM-TMA ligands in the equatorial plane and two N atoms from two symmetry-related NCS− anions in a trans axial arrangement. The tri­methyl­benzene and pyridine rings of the PM-TMA ligand are oriented at dihedral angles of 74.18 (7) and 77.70 (12)° for (I) and (II), respectively. The subtle change in size of the central metal cations leads to a different crystal packing arrangement for (I) and (II) that is dominated by weak C—H⋯S, C—H⋯π, and π–π inter­actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to qu­antify these inter­molecular contacts, and indicate that the most significant contacts in packing are H⋯H [48.1% for (I) and 54.9% for (II)], followed by H⋯C/C⋯H [24.1% for (I) and 15.7% for (II)], and H⋯S/S⋯H [21.1% for (I) and 21.1% for (II)].
