title: Hexaaqua-manganese(II) 4,4'-(1,2-dihy-droxy-ethane-1,2-di-yl)dibenzoate monohydrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(H(2)O)(6)](C(16)H(12)O(6))·H(2)O, the [Mn(H(2)O)(6)](2+) complex cation lies on a mirror plane, the 4,4'-(1,2-dihy-droxy-ethane-1,2-di-yl)dibenzoate anion is located on an inversion center and the solvent water mol-ecule also lies on a mirror plane. Extensive O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions between the cations, anions and water mol-ecules stabilize the three-dimensional network.
