title: Bis[N-(2-hydroxy-benzo-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamidrazonato-κN,N,O]manganese(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(13)H(11)N(4)O(2))(2)], the Mn atom is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral manner by pyridyl N atoms, amidrazonato N atoms and carbamoy O atoms from two tridentate N(3)-salicyloylpyridine-2-carboxamidrazonato ligands. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of two chains, one parallel to the b axis and the other one parallel to the c axis. These two chains are cross-linked, building up layers parallel to the (100) plane.
