title: catena-Poly[[[bis-(methanol-κO)bis-(seleno-cyanato-κN)manganese(II)]-μ-1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)ethane-κ(2) N:N'] 1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)ethane monosolvate].
abstract: The reaction of manganese seleno-cyanate with 1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)ethane (bpa) leads to the title compound, {[Mn(NCSe)2(C12H12N2)(CH3OH)2]·C12H12N2} n . The Mn(II) cation is coordinated by two N-bonded seleno-cyanate anions, two bpa ligands and two O-bonded methanol mol-ecules, within a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Mn(II) cations and the non-coordinating N-donor ligands are located on centers of inversion while the coordinating N-donor co-ligands are located on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal, the Mn(II) cations are linked into chains along the c-axis direction by the bpa ligands. The chains are further connected via a non-coordinating bpa ligand into layers parallel to (3-10) via O-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
