title: Bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN)[N,N'-o-phenyl-enebis(pyridine-2-carbox-amido)-κN]manganese(II).
abstract: The title compound, [Mn(C(18)H(12)N(4)O(2))(C(4)H(6)N(2))(2)], belongs to the family of 1,2-bis-(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzene (H(2)bpb) ligated metal complexes. The manganese center is octa-hedrally coordinated by a bpb ligand and two axial 1-methyl-imidazole mol-ecules. The axial N-Mn-N group is bent with a bond angle of 151.79 (7)°.
