Abstract: In the title complex, [Mn(C₄N₃)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂O₂)₂], the Mn^II atom lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by two 2,2'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide (dpdo) molecules and two tricyanomethanide (tcm) ligands to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Weak intermolecular C-HO or C-HN hydrogen bonds, involving either the O atom of the dpdo molecule and the pyridyl H atom, or the N atom of the tcm anion and the pyridyl H atom, result in the formation of a three-dimensional network structure.
