Abstract
In the title complex, [Mn(C20H21N3)2](ClO4)2, two tridentate (2-methylbenzyl)bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine (L) ligands form the MnII complex [MnL 2](ClO4)2. The MnII ion lies on a twofold axis and the complex cation is significantly distorted from regular octahedral geometry. The packing is stabilized by weak C—H⋯O interactions between the cations and anions, which link them into a zigzag ribbon along [101]. The perchlorate anion is disordered and was constrained to be tetrahedral with two orientations having occupancies of 0.768 (4) and 0.232 (4). The 2-methylbenzyl moiety is also disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancies of 0.508 (15) and 0.492 (15).
