catena-Poly[[[bis­(methanol-κO)bis­(seleno­cyanato-κN)manganese(II)]-μ-1,2-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)eth­ene-κ(2) N:N′] 1,2-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)eth­ene mono­solvate]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, {[Mn(NCSe)(2)(C(12)H(10)N(2))(CH(3)OH)(2)]·C(12)H(10)N(2)}(n), the Mn(II) cation is coordin­ated by two terminal N-bonded seleno­cyanate anions, two methanol mol­ecules and two 1,2-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)eth­ene (bpe) ligands within a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Mn(II) cations are linked into chains along the c-axis direction by the bpe ligands, which are further connected by inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding between the methanol H atoms and additional bpe mol­ecules that are not coordinated to the metal atoms. The Mn(II) cation and both crystallographically independent bpe ligands are located on centers of inversion, whereas the seleno­cyanate and methanol ligands occupy general positions.
