title: catena-Poly[[[diaqua-bis[4-(diethyl-amino)benzoato-κO]manganese(II)]-μ-aqua] dihydrate].
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, {[Mn(C(11)H(14)NO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(3)]·2H(2)O}(n), the two independent Mn(II) atoms are located on a centre of symmetry and coordinated by two 4-(diethyl-amino)benzoate (DEAB) anions and two water mol-ecules in the basal plane while another water mol-ecule bridges the Mn atoms in the apical directions, forming polymeric chains. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl-ate groups and the adjacent benzene rings are 11.33 (13) and 10.90 (9)° and the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 67.88 (6)°. The uncoordinated water mol-ecules link the carboxyl-ate groups and coordinated water mol-ecules via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also found in the crystal structure.
