Poly[[diaqua­bis(μ(2)-4,4′-bipyridine)­manganese(II)] bis­[2-(2-carboxy­phenyl­di­sulfanyl)benzoate]]

The title complex, {[Mn(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](C(14)H(9)O(4)S(2))(2)}(n), contains an octa­hedrally coordinated Mn(II) cation and 2-(2-carboxy­phenyl­disulfan­yl)benzoate anions. The Mn(II) center is situated on a crystallographic center of inversion and is coordinated by four 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) ligands and two water mol­ecules. The 4,4′-bipy ligands act as bridging ligands, producing a fishing-net-like two-dimensional framework. In the crystal structure, this positively charged framework is charge balanced by 2-(2-carboxy­phenyl­disulfan­yl)benzoate anions that form a separate anionic two-dimensional framework via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π stacking inter­actions. Additional inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cationic and anionic frameworks to form the three-dimensional crystal structure.
