title: catena-Poly[[[aqua-(di-2-pyridyl-amine-κN,N)manganese(II)]-μ-5-ferrocenyl-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ato-κO,O:O] methanol monosolvate monohydrate].
abstract: In the title coordination polymer, {[FeMn(C(5)H(5))(C(13)H(7)O(4))(C(10)H(9)N(3))(H(2)O)]·CH(3)OH·H(2)O}(n), the Mn(II) ion has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry and is ligated by two N atoms from two di-2-pyridyl-amine mol-ecules, three O atoms from two 5-ferrocenyl-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate anions and one O atom from a coordinated water mol-ecule. The Mn-O distances range from 2.151 (2) to 2.5093 (19) Å, while the Mn-N distances are 2.226 (2) and 2.248 (2) Å. Each 5-ferrocenyl-benzene-1,5-dicarboxyl-ate anion links to two Mn(II) ions, resulting in a chain along the b axis. A three-dimensional network of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds helps to stabilize the crystal packing.
