Abstract
The title compound, [Mn(C4H3N8)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, represents the first structurally characterized transition metal complex of the 1,2-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)ethene ligand. The complex molecule occupies a special position on an inversion centre and the Mn atom has a tetragonally distorted octahedral coordination. The bis(tetrazolyl)ethene ligand is planar within 0.0366 (7) Å. All ‘active’ H atoms participate in hydrogen bonds, which link molecules of the complex and the uncoordinated water molecules into an infinite three-dimensional framework.

Summary
The chemical name in the title of the paper by Hu [Acta Cryst. (2008), E64, m772], the chemical name in the title is incorrect. The correct title should be ‘Tetraaquabis{5-[2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethenyl]tetrazolatoN2}manganese(II) dihydrate’
