Aqua­(2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoato-κO (1))bis­(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′)manganese(II) 2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoate hemihydrate

In the complex cation of the title compound, [Mn(C(7)H(5)O(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)](C(7)H(5)O(4))·0.5H(2)O, the Mn(II) atom has a six-coordinate octa­hedral environment defined by one carboxyl­ate O atom belonging to a 2,6-dihy­droxy­benzoate (DHB) ligand, four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecules and one water mol­ecule. The lattice water mol­ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis. Intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present in the DHB anions and complex cations. Inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link two cations, two anions and one water mol­ecule into a dimer. π–π inter­actions between the pyridine and benzene rings and between the benzene rings are also observed [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7774 (16), 3.7912 (16) and 3.7310 (17) Å].
