Diaqua­bis(vanillinato-κ²O,O′)manganese(II)

In the title complex, [Mn(C₈H₇O₃)₂(H₂O)₂], the Mn^II atom is located on a twofold axis and is coordinated by two vanillinate anions and two water mol­ecules in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The vanillinate ligand chelates to the Mn^II atom through its meth­oxy and hydr­oxy O atoms, with greatly differing Mn—O bond distances [2.3506 (14) and 2.0901 (12) Å].
