title: Hexa-kis-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazole-κN)manganese(II) bis-(perchlorate).
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(10)H(10)N(2))(6)](ClO(4))(2), the Mn(II) ion, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by six N atoms from three pairs of symmetry-related 1-benzyl-1H-imidazole ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex cations and perchlorate anions.
