title: Diaqua-bis-(4-carb-oxy-2-ethyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxyl-ato-κN,O)manganese(II) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(7)H(7)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, the central Mn(II) ion, located on an inversion center, is hexa-coordinated by four O atoms from two water mol-ecules and two carboxyl-ate groups, and two N atoms from two 4-carb-oxy-2-ethyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxyl-ate anions in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment. The complex mol-ecules and solvent mol-ecules are connected via N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional polymeric structure parallel to (001).
