In the title complex, [Mn(N3)2(C8H8N6)2], the complete molecule is generated by the application of twofold symmetry, and is in a distorted octahedral environment, coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate 6-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine ligands and two N atoms from two azide anions. The two chelated 6-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine ligands form a dihedral angle 74.75 (5)°. The mononuclear molecules are alternatively linked into layers parallel to the ac plane via N—HN hydrogen bonds. Adjacent layers are connected into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework by futher N—HN hydrogen-bonding interactions.
