title: (Formato-κO,O')bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')manganese(II) perchlorate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Mn(CHO(2))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]ClO(4), the Mn(II) cation is chelated by two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and one formate anion in a distorted MnN(4)O(2) octa-hedral geometry. The two phen planes are oriented at a dihedral angle of 57.48 (11)°. The perchlorate anion links with the Mn complex cation via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
