The Mn(II) ion in the title complex, [MnI(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], is six-coordinated in a distorted cis-N(4)I(2)Mn octa-hedral environment by four N atoms of the two chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two iodide anions. As a result of the different trans effects of the N and I atoms, the Mn-N bonds trans to the I atom are slightly longer than the Mn-N bonds trans to the N atom. The dihedral angle between the approximately planar ligands [maximum deviation = 0.064 (7) Å] is 75.0 (1)°. Numerous ...[more]
