Poly[[tetra-kis-(μ-1,2-di-4-pyridyl-ethyl-ene-κN:N')tetra-kis-(seleno-cyanato-κN)dimanganese(II)] 1,2-di-4-pyridyl-ethyl-ene disolvate].

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Mn(NCSe)(2)(C(12)H(10)N(2))(2)]·C(12)H(10)N(2)}(2n), consists of two crystallographically independent Mn cations, four seleno-cyanate anions, four 1,2-di-pyridylethylene (bpe) ligands (two of which are located on centers of inversion) and two bpe solvent molecules. Each manganese(II) cation is coordinated by two terminally N-bonded seleno-cyanate anions and four bpe ligands within a slightly distorted octa-hedron. The manganese(II) cations are linked by the bpe ligands into chains that are further connected by these ligands into layers. These layers are stacked, forming cavities in which additional bpe solvent molecules are embedded.
