Diaqua-bis-[2-(5-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl-κN)nicotinato-κN]manganese(II).

In the title compound, [Mn(C(13)H(14)N(3)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Mn(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two (±)-2-(5-isopropyl-5-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinate ligands and two water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral environment. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a chain along [010]. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed.
