In the title complex, [Mn(C(10)H(7)N(6))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], the Mn(2+) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two N atoms from two 5-[4-(imidazol-1-yl)phen-yl]tetra-zolide ligands and four O atoms from four water mol-ecules, displaying a distorted MnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated water mol-ecules and the N atoms of the tetra-zolide group.
