Aqua(2,2'-bipyridyl-N,N')trichloromanganese(III)

In the structure of [MnCl₃(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)], the Mn^III atom has a distorted octahedral coordination. In the basal plane the metal atom is coordinated to the bipyridyl ligand and two Cl atoms. The apical positions are occupied by a Cl atom and an aqua ligand. In the crystal, polymeric chains are formed via H₂O...Cl hydrogen bonds.
