In the title compound, [Mn(C8H7O2)2(C12H9N3)], the manganese(II) centre is surrounded by three bidentate chelating ligands, namely, one 2-(2-pyrid-yl)benzimidazole ligand [Mn - N = 2.1954 (13) and 2.2595 (14) A] and two p-toluate ligands [Mn - O = 2.1559 (13)-2.2748 (14) A]. It displays a severely distorted octa-hedral geometry, with cis angles ranging from 58.87 (4) to 106.49 (5)°. Inter-molecular C - H...O hydrogen bonds between the p-toluate ligands link the mol-ecules into infinite chains, and every two neighbouring chains are further coupled by N - H...O and C - H...O hydrogen bonds between the 2-(2-pyrid-yl)benzimidazole and p-toluate ligands, leading to an infinite ribbon-like double-chain packing mode. The complete solid-state structure can be described as a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework, stabilized by these inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions and possible C - H...π inter-actions, as well as stacking inter-actions involving the 2-(2-pyrid-yl)benzimidazole ligands.
