Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(CH3CN)(C8H6N4)2(H2O)][Mn(C8H6N4)2(H2O)2](ClO4)4·2H2O, contains two distinct cationic MnII complexes, four perchlorate anions and two solvent water mol­ecules. In the two complexes, both MnII ions are six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral environment, but one Mn ion has a cis-N5O coordination geometry defined by four N atoms of the two chelating 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym) ligands, one N atom of a coordinating acetonitrile mol­ecule and one O atom of a water ligand, whereas the other Mn ion has a cis-N4O2 coordination geometry defined by four N atoms of the two bpym ligands and two O atoms of water ligands. In the crystal structure, the complex mol­ecules, anions and solvent water mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Three of the four perchlorate anions are disordered over two sets of sites in different ratios.
