abstract: The 1,4-dicarboxyl-ate dianions in the title compound, [Mn(C(12)H(6)O(4))(C(19)H(12)N(4)O)(2)]·0.5C(12)H(8)O(4)·H(2)O, bond to two 4-(1H-1,3,7,8-tetra-azacyclo-penta-[l]phenanthren-2-yl)phenol-chelated Mn atoms to form a chain that features the metal atom in an octa-hedral coordination geometry. Adjacent chains inter-act with the uncoordinated water mol-ecules to form a three-dimensional network. The naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid solvent mol-ecule, which is disordered about a centre of inversion, occupies the space within the network but is not bonded to the network. One NH group is disordered equally over two positions.
