[μ-N,N,N',N'-Tetra-kis(2-pyridylmeth-yl)-hexane-1,6-diamine]bis-[dichlorido-manganese(II)].

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(2)Cl(4)(C(30)H(36)N(6))], contains one-half of the formula unit; a centre of inversion is located at the mid-point of the mol-ecule. The two Mn(2+) ions are bridged by the dual tri-dentate N,N,N',N'-tetra-kis(2-pyridylmeth-yl)hexane-1,6-diamine ligand to form a dinuclear complex. Each Mn atom is five-coordinated in an approximately square-pyramidal geometry by three N atoms from the ligand and two Cl atoms. Inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between adjacent pyridine rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.576 (2) Å are reported.
