title: Hexakis(1H-imidazole-κN)mangan-ese(II) triaqua-tris(1H-imidazole-κN)manganese(II) bis-(naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate).
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(C(3)H(4)N(2))(6)][Mn(C(3)H(4)N(2))(3)(H(2)O)(3)](C(12)H(6)O(4))(2), there are uncoordinated naphthalene-dicarboxyl-ate dianions and two kinds of Mn(II) complex cations, both assuming a distorted octa-hedral geometry. One Mn(II) cation is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by six imidazole mol-ecules, while the other Mn(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by three water mol-ecules and three imidazole units. The naphthalene-dicarboxyl-ate dianions are linked to both Mn(II) complex cations via O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, but no π-π stacking is observed between aromatic rings in the crystal structure.
