title: Bis{2-[6-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl-κN)-2-pyridyl-κN]benzimidazolato-κN}manganese(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(19)H(12)N(5))(2)], each Mn(II) atom lies on a position of site symmetry 222 and has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry made up from six N atoms of two tridentate 2-[6-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-pyrid-yl]benz-imidazolate ligands. The complex mol-ecules are linked into layers parallel to (001) by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, with the H atoms disordered over four symmetry-equivalent non-coordinated N atoms.
