Experimental. Di-µ-aceto-mono(dimethylformamide)pentakis(µ-N,2-dioxidobenzene-1-carboximidato)pentakis(1-methylimidazole)pentamanganese(III)manganese(II)–diethyl ether-dimethylformamide-methanol-water (1/1/1/0.49)FT–IR bands (KBr pellet, cm-1): 1669, 1653, 1598, 1570, 1500, 1437, 1421, 1389, 1320, 1258, 1243, 1146, 1102, 1033, 1025, 954, 926, 865, 753, 681, 669, 653, 616, 595, 577, 486, 469, 418, and 404.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles, and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refined as a 3-component twin.
