title: catena-Poly[[diaqua-bis-[2-(4-tolyl-sulfanyl)acetato-κO]manganese(II)]-μ-4,4'-bipyridine-κN:N'].
abstract: In the polymeric title complex, [Mn(C(9)H(9)O(2)S)(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Mn(2+) cation and the 4,4'-bipyridine ligand lie on a twofold rotation axis. The cation has an MnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral environment, being coordinated by the O atoms of two water mol-ecules and two monodentate (4-tolyl-sulfan-yl)acetate anions, and by two N atoms of two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands. The latter bridge adjacent cations into linear chains parallel to [010]. The chains are further linked with each other into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100) via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
