In the title compound, [Mn(NCS)2(C15H14N2O4)(H2O)3]·2H2O, the metal ion is octahedrally coordinated by three water molecules, one carboxylate O atom from a 1,1′-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis(pyridinium-4-carboxylate) ligand and two N atoms from two thiocyanate anions in cis positions, forming a mononuclear complex molecule. In the crystal, molecules are connected into a three-dimensional architecture through O—HO hydrogen bonds involving water molecules and carboxylate groups.
