Tetraaquabis{2-[4-(3-pyridyl)pyrimidin-2-ylsulfanyl]acetato}manganese(II) dihydrate

In the title compound, [Mn(C11H8N3O2S)(2)(H2O)(4)]center dot 2H(2)O, the Mn-II ion lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four water molecules in equatorial positions and two N atoms from two 2-[4-(3-pyridyl)pyrimidin-2-ylsulfanyl] acetate ligands in the axial positions. The water molecules, including the uncoordinated water molecules, and the acetate O atoms are involved in O-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen-bonding interactions, which link the components into layers parallel to the a (b + c) plane.
