A new dinuclear manganese(II) complex [MnL(N3)2]2 · 2CH3OH 1 has been synthesized and characterized crystallographically and magnetically. L is a tridentate Schiff base ligand which is derived from the reaction of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde and 2-aminoethylbenzimidazole. In the complex 1, each Mn(II) ion is coordinated by one L, one terminal azide ligand and symmetrical double end-on bridging azide ligands. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds extend the structure into a two-dimensional layer. Magnetic determination of 1 indicates that ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the two manganese(II) ions exist in this complex through the double end-on azide bridges.
