title: trans-Tetra-kis[N-(adamantan-1-yl)pyridine-4-carboxamide]-dichlorido-manganese(II)-N-(adamantan-1-yl)pyridine-4-carboxamide (1/2).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [MnCl(2)(C(16)H(20)N(2)O)(4)]·2C(16)H(20)N(2)O, is composed of two coordinating N-(adamantan-1-yl)pyridine-4-carboxamide mol-ecules, one Cl(-) anion, an Mn(II) ion, lying on an inversion centre, and one free N-(adamantan-1-yl)pyridine-4-carboxamide mol-ecule. The distorted octa-hedral Mn environment comprises two terminal Cl atoms and four monodentate N atoms from four organic ligands. All the carbamoyl N atoms are involved in inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions which link the mol-ecules into a chain along the a axis.
