title: Penta-aqua-[5,5'-(m-phenylene)ditetra-zolato-κN]manganese(II) dihydrate.
abstract: The title compound, [Mn(C(8)H(4)N(8))(2)(H(2)O)(5)]·2H(2)O, is the fourth transition metal complex containing the 1,3-di(2H-tetra-zol-5-yl)benzene ligand to be structurally characterized. The Mn^II^ cation has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The 1,3-di(tetra-zol-5-yl)benzene ligand is planar. All H atoms bonded to O atoms participate in hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into a framework structure.
