title: catena-Poly[[trans-bis-(1,3-benzo-thia-zole-κN)manganese(II)]-di-μ-chlorido].
abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [MnCl2(C7H5NS)2] n , the Mn(II) ion is located on the inter-section of a twofold rotation axis and a mirror plane and adopts an octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by two mutually trans N atoms from benzo-thia-zole ligands which occupy the axial positions, and four Cl atoms which form the equatorial sites. The Mn(II) ions are connected by two bridging Cl atoms, forming chains parallel to the c axis. The crystal packing can be descibed as alternating layers parallel to (001) featuring π-π stacking inter-actions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.6029 (15) Å.
