The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, [MnCl(2)(C(18)H(10)N(4))(2)], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry with the Mn atom lying on the rotation axis. The Mn coordination geometry is a distorted cis-MnCl(2)N(4) octa-hedron, arising from two N,N'-bidentate dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (DPPZ) ligands and two chloride ions. In the crystal structure, neighbouring mononuclear units pack together through π-π contacts between the DPPZ rings [shortest centroid-centroid distance = ...[more]
