%X In the cation of the title compound, [Mn(C11H13N5)2](ClO4)2¡¤CH3CN, the metal atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated by six N atoms from two different 2,6-bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine (bip) ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The O atoms of the perchlorate anions are disordered with occupancies in the ratio 0.593 (10):0.407 (10). In the crystal, molecules are stabilized by two N¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along the a axis, which are further interconnected by N¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds and ¦Ð¨C¦Ð interactions [centroid¨Ccentroid distance = 3.50 (1)  ] into a three-dimensional network.
