Abstract:
In the title compound, [Mn(C(5)H(3)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Mn(II) atom lies on an inversion centre, is trans-coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate monoanionic ligands [Mn-O = 2.202 (3) A and Mn-N = 2.201 (4) A] and two water molecules [Mn-O = 2.197 (4) A], and exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry, with adjacent cis angles of 76.45 (13), 86.09 (13) and 89.20 (13) degrees. The complete solid-state structure can be described as a three-dimensional supramolecular framework, stabilized by extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the coordinated water molecules, the carboxy O atoms and the protonated imidazole N atoms of the imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligands.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
