title: Tetra-aqua-bis{2-[4-(3-pyrid-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylsulfan-yl]acetato}manganese(II) dihydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(11)H(8)N(3)O(2)S)(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the Mn(II) ion lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four water mol-ecules in equatorial positions and two N atoms from two 2-[4-(3-pyrid-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylsulfan-yl]acetate ligands in the axial positions. The water mol-ecules, including the uncoordinated water mol-ecules, and the acetate O atoms are involved in O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, which link the components into layers parallel to the a (b + c) plane.
