Bis[2,6-bis­(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine]manganese(II) bis­(per­chlorate) acetonitrile solvate

In the cation of the title compound, [Mn(C(11)H(13)N(5))(2)](ClO(4))(2)·CH(3)CN, the metal atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated by six N atoms from two different 2,6-bis­(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine (bip) ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The O atoms of the perchlorate anions are disordered with occupancies in the ratio 0.593 (10):0.407 (10). In the crystal, mol­ecules are stabilized by two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along the a axis, which are further inter­connected by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.50 (1) Å] into a three-dimensional network.
