[2,6-Bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine]dichloridomanganese(II).

In the title compound, [MnCl2(C11H13N5)], the MnII ion is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, with three N atoms from the neutral tridentate 2,6-bis­(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine ligand and one chloride ion forming the basal plane and the other chloride ion in the apical position. Both dihydro­imidazole rings adopt envelope conformations. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
