Crystals of the title compound, Mn(C10H14N2O)2(NCS)2 are triclinic, space group P1. The unit-cell constants are: a = 9.332 (8), b = 7.193 (10), c = 11.159 (8) Å, α = 113.9 (1)°, β = 96.8 (1)°, γ = 105.7 (1)°, Z = 1. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction and the three-dimensional intensity data have been measured on a single-crystal automated diffractometer. The structure, solved by Fourier methods and refined by least-squares methods, consists of octahedral centrosymmetric complexes: two positions of the polyhedron around the manganese atom are occupied by amidic O atoms, two by pyridine N atoms and two by isothiocyanato N atoms. Pairs of N,N-diethylnicotinamide molecules bridge two metal atoms, thus forming chains parallel to [010]. Bond distances and angles in the coordination polyhedron are compared with those obtained in the complex formed by the ligand with cadmium thiocyanate. The bond distances and angles in the organic ligand repeat those found in other determinations. The isothiocyanato group is linear.
