Abstract
In the molecule of the title compound, [MnCl2( C20H14N4)(2)]center dot-H2O, the Mn atom is chelated by two 5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine molecules in bidentate manner and bonded to two Cl atoms in a distorted octahedral environment. Intra-and intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and O-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds, and also pi-pi and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions may be effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure.
