Diaqua-bis-(5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ato-κN,O)manganese(II) 3.5-hydrate.

In the title complex, [Mn(C(8)H(9)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·3.5H(2)O, the Mn(II) cation is six-coordinated by two N,O-bidentate H(2)pimda(-) ligands (H(2)pimda(-) = 5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ate) and two water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The complete solid-state structure can be described as a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework stabilized by a wide range of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The propyl groups of H(2)pimda(-) are disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.759 (5):0.241 (5) and 0.545 (7):0.455 (7).
