Abstract
In the polymeric title complex, {[Mn(C8H4O4)(C7H6N2)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, the MnII cation is coordinated by two benzenedicarboxylate anions, one benzimidazole ligand and two water molecules in a distorted MnNO5 octahedral geometry. In the crystal, each benzenedicarboxylate anion bridges adjacent MnII cations through the terminal carboxylate groups, forming a polymeric complex chain along the a axis. One Mn—Ocarboxylate bond is much longer than the others. In the crystal, π–π stacking is observed between nearly parallel [dihedral angle = 4.32 (6)°] benzimidazole aromatic ring systems of adjacent molecules, the centroid–centroid distance between the imidazole and benzene rings being 3.5421 (11) Å. Extensive intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure. The two lattice water molecules are located on twofold rotation axes.
