title: Diaqua-(trifluoro-acetato-κO,O')[2,4,6-tri-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine-κN,N,N]manganese(II) trifluoro-acetate.
abstract: The Mn(II) atom in the two independent ion-pairs of the title salt, [Mn(C(2)F(3)O(2))(C(18)H(12)N(6))(H(2)O)(2)]C(2)F(3)O(2), is N,N',N''-chelated by the neutral N-heterocycle and O,O'-chelated by the carboxyl-ate ion, the five atoms involved in chelation comprising a penta-gon around it. The apical sites of the trans-penta-gonal bipyramidal coordination geometry are occupied by two water mol-ecules. The cations and lattice anions are linked by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
