title: Bis(2,2'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide)bis-(tri-cyano-methanido)manganese(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [Mn(C(4)N(3))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2)O(2))(2)], the Mn(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by two 2,2'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide (dpdo) mol-ecules and two tricyano-methanide (tcm) ligands to form a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O or C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, involving either the O atom of the dpdo mol-ecule and the pyridyl H atom, or the N atom of the tcm anion and the pyridyl H atom, result in the formation of a three-dimensional network structure.
