title: catena-Poly[[[aqua-(2,2'-bipyridine)manganese(II)]-μ-5-methoxy-iso-phthalato-κO,O':O''] monohydrate].
abstract: In the title compound, {[Mn(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n), the Mn(II) centre is octa-hedrally coordinated by three O atoms from two 5-methoxy-isophthalate (CH(3)O-ip) ligands, a fourth from a coordinated water mol-ecule and two N atoms from one chelating 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2-bipy) ligand. Each pair of adjacent Mn(II) atoms is bridged by a CH(3)O-ip ligand, forming a helical chain running along a crystallographic 2(1) axis in the c-axis direction. These chains are decorated with 2,2'-bipy ligands on alternating sides. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding involving the water molecules stabilizes the crystal structure.
