title: cis-Tetra-aqua-bis-{5-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl-κN(3))phen-yl]tetra-zolido}manganese(II) dihydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(10)H(7)N(6))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the Mn(2+) lies on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated by two N atoms from the cis-related monodentate 5-[4-(imidazol-1-yl)phen-yl]tetra-zolide ligands and four O atoms from the coordinated water mol-ecules. The complex mol-ecules are connected via water O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak π-π stacking inter-actions between the benzene rings [minimum ring centroid separation = 3.750 (6) Å] into a three-dimensional polymeric structure. The imidazolyl group of the ligand is partially disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.531 (7):0.469 (7).
