title: Diazido-bis(2,2'-biimidazole)manganese(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(N(3))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)], the Mn atom (site symmetry ) is bonded to two azide ions and two bidentate biimidizole ligands, resulting in a slightly distorted octa-hedral MnN(6) geometry for the metal ion. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the packing.
