Supporting information
A mixture of manganese(II) chloride tetrahydrate, (0.4 mmol, 79.2 mg), pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (0.8 mmol, 134.5 mg), and H2O (1.0 mol, 18.0 ml) in the molar ratio of 1: 2: 2500 was sealed in a 40 ml stainless steel reactor with Teflon liner and directly heated to 160 °C, kept at 160 °C for 72 h, and then directly cooled to the room temperature. Light-yellow block-shaped crystals of the title complex were collected by filtration and washed with ethanol (2×5 ml) for the structural analysis.
All H atoms were initially located in difference Fourier maps and were treated isotropically in the riding-model approximation with C—H = 0.93 Å, O—H = 0.85 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O), and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

In the past decades, self-assembly processes involving metal ions and organic ligands directed by either metal coordination or hydrogen bonds have received a great deal of attention in the field of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering. Pyrazine carboxylic acids, containing O– or N– donors, are excellent bridging ligands when coordinated to transition metals and have been extensively studied as active ligands in the course of electron-transfer and magnetochemistry research (Klein et al., 1982; O'Connor et al., 1981). The cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and manganese(II) complexes of the 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid ligand have been reported (Ciurtin et al., 2002; Dong et al., 2000; Ptasiewicz-Bak et al., 1995). Ptasiewicz-Bak et al. reported an orthorhombic manganese(II) dipyrazinate dihydrate complex (space group Fdd2), in which the coordination polyhedron around the MnII atom is a distorted octahedron with cis positioned water molecules. The title complex is another monomeric complex of MnII with the 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid ligand, which is isostructrual to the cobalt(II) complex (Ptasiewicz-Bak et al., 1995).
The MnII atom sits on an inversion center and the coordination geometry for the MnII atom (Fig. 1) is distorted octahedral (Table 1). Each MnII atom is axially coordinated by water molecules and consists of an equatorial plane of two oxygen donors and two nitrogen donors from two chelating 2-pyrazinecarboxylato group. As a consequence of the reaction the carboxylic groups of the starting diacid in position 3 are decarboxylated while the coordinated carboxylic groups in 2-position are kept and are deprotonated. The title molecules are connected by the O—H···N and O—H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions (Fig. 2); see Table 2 for the geometric parameters describing these interactions.
