Abstract: In the title mixed-ligand complex, [Mn(C₇H₄NO₄)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂(H₂O)₂], was synthesized and its crystal structure was studied. The Mn atom is six-coordinated in slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry by two N atoms of two 1,2-di-4-pyridylethane ligands (L), two O atoms of monodentate 2-nitrobenzoate ligands and two O atoms of water molecules. The Mn atom is located on a centre of inversion. A one-dimensional structure is formed in the [101] direction by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the aqua ligands and N atoms of L. An intramolecular hydrogen bond between the other aqua ligand and a neighbouring O atom of a carboxylate group is also observed.
