catena-Poly[[diaqua­dibromidoman­ganese(III)]-μ-pyridine-2-carboxyl­ato]

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [MnBr(2)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(H(2)O)(2)](n), contains one monomeric unit of the neutral linear coordination polymer. The Mn(3+) ions are bridged by anionic pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate (pic) ligands, thereby forming a chain-like structure along the c axis, and are six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral environment by two O atoms of the two different carboxyl­ate groups, two O atoms of two water mol­ecules and two Br atoms. The complex displays inter­molecular O—H⋯Br, O—H⋯N, O—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonding. There may also be inter­molecular π–π inter­actions between adjacent pyridine rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.993 (8) Å.
