The metal site in the title compound [MnCl(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)]·2.5H(2)O has a distorted octa-hedral geometry, coordinated by four N atoms of two 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-dipyridine ligands and two Cl atoms. Two and a half water molecules of hydration per complex unit are observed in the crystal structure. The compounds extend along the c axis with O-H⋯Cl, O-H⋯O, C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.70 (2) Å] contributing substanti-ally to the crystal ...[more]
