| Summary: | In the crystal structure of the mononuclear title compound, [Mn(NCS)2(C10H8N2)2]·C10H8N2, the MnII cation is coordinated in an all-cis configuration by two N-bound thiocyanate anions and two 2,2′-bipyridine ligands within a slightly distorted octahedral environment. The asymmetric unit consists of one MnII cation, two thiocyanate anions and two 2,2′-bipyridine ligands, as well as two non-coordinating 2,2′-bipyridine ligands that are each located on centres of inversion. In the crystal structure, the discrete [Mn(NCS)2(C10H8N2)2] complex molecules are arranged in such a way that cavities are formed, in which the solvent 2,2′-bipyridine molecules are located. Apart from van der Waals forces, there are no remarkable intermolecular interactions present in the crystal structure.
