title: (Acetato-κO)diaqua-[2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)acetato-κO](1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')manganese(II) dihydrate.
abstract: In the hydrated title complex, [Mn(C(8)H(6)N(3)O(2))(CH(3)CO(2))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, the Mn(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two water O atoms, a monodentate acetate anion and an O-monodentate 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)acetate ligand, resulting in a distorted cis-MnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral coordination geometry. The water O atoms are in a trans arrangement and one of them forms an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond to the uncoordinated O atom of the acetate ion. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules and water mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds to generate a three-dimensional network.
