The title compound, [Mn(C18H12N4O2)(C4H6N2)2], belongs to the family of 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzene (H2bpb) ligated metal complexes. The manganese center is octahedrally coordinated by a bpb ligand and two axial 1-methylimidazole molecules. The axial N—Mn—N group is bent with a bond angle of 151.79 (7)°.
