Abstract

In the title compound, [Mn(C(10)H(9)O(2))(2)(C(13)H(14)N(2))(2)], the Mn(II) ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment. Weak π-π stacking inter-actions, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.862 (2) and 3.887 (5) Å, and significant C-H⋯π inter-actions help to stabilize the crystal structure. The atoms of the unique terminal 4-pyridine-propane group are disordered over two sites, the ratio of refined occpancies being 0.712 (7):0.288 (7).
