Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Mn(C₂N₃)₂(C₇H₆N₂)₂]_n or [Mn(dca)₂(bim)₂]_n, where dca is dicyanamide and bim is benzimidazole, each Mn^II atom is located on a center of symmetry and is in a six-coordinated distorted octahedral environment. Four N atoms from four dca ligands fill the equatorial positions, and two N atoms from two bim ligands occupy the axial positions. The dicyanamide ligands adopt an end-to-end coordination mode and link the Mn atoms to form a two-dimensional network.
