title: Dichlorido[2-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)ethanamine-κ(3)N,N',N'']manganese(II) monohydrate.
abstract: In the title complex, [MnCl(2)(C(13)H(13)N(3))]·H(2)O, the Mn(II) atom is in a distorted square-pyramidal environment, with an Addison τ parameter of 0.037. The coordination geometry is defined by three N-atom donors from the tridentate 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)ethanamine ligand and two terminal Cl atoms. Although the H atoms of the lattice water molecule were not located, O⋯O distances of 3.103 (7) Å and O⋯Cl distances of 3.240 (3) and 3.482 (4) Å suggest that hydrogen bonding is responsible for the stabilization of the crystal packing.
