title: (2,2'-Bipyridyl-κN,N')tetra-kis(4-methyl-benzoato-κO)manganese(II).
abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Mn(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Mn(II) atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by four O atoms from four 4-methyl-benzoate ligands and two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions [the centroid-centroid distance between the parallel pyridyl ring of a 2,2'-bipyridyl and benzene ring of a 4-methylbenzoic group of a neighboring complex is 3.839 (2) Å].
