Diaqua-bis(5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ato-κN,O)manganese(II) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate.

In the title complex, [Mn(C(8)H(9)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, the Mn(II) atom, lying on an inversion centre, is six-coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carb-oxyl-ate ligands and two water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal structure, the complex mol-ecules and dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional supra-molecular network parallel to (001).
