{N,N'-Bis[1-(2-pyrid-yl)ethyl-idene]propane-1,2-diamine-κN,N',N'',N'''}bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)manganese(II).

In the title compound, [Mn(NCS)(2)(C(17)H(20)N(4))], the Mn(II) atom is six-coordinated by the N,N',N'',N'''-tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand and by two trans-N atoms from two thio-cyanate anions, forming a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings of the Schiff base is 9.5†(3)°.
