Abstract: The title binuclear manganese(II) complex, [Mn₂(C₂H₃O₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₄](ClO₄)₂, has been synthesized by the reaction of manganese(II) acetate and tetra-n-butylammonium manganate(VII) with 1,10-phenanthroline in a mixed solvent of acetic acid, ethanol and pyridine. In the centrosymmetric cation, the two Mn^II atoms are linked to each other by the four O atoms of two acetate ions. Each Mn^II atom adopts a six-coordinate geometry and the six coordinating atoms form a distorted octahedron.
