Poly[[bis­(2,2-bipyridine)­bis­[μ(6)-5-(carboxyl­atometh­oxy)benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl­ato]trimanganese(II)] monohydrate]

The title compound, {[Mn(3)(C(10)H(5)O(7))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]·H(2)O}(n), was synthesized under hydro­thermal conditions. Six carboxyl­ate groups of six 5-(carboxyl­atometh­oxy)benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl­ate anions (OABDC(3−)) join three Mn(II) ions into a trinuclear centrosymmetric [Mn(3)(μ(2)-COO)(6)] unit with one Mn site situated on a centre of inversion. The latter Mn(II) ion exhibits a distorted MnO(6) coordination, whereas the other Mn(II) ion has a trigonal–bipyramidal MnN(2)O(3) coordination environment resulting from three carboxylate O atoms and the two N atoms of the bipyridine ligand. Adjacent units are linked to each other by OABDC(3−) ligands into a layer parallel to (010). Within the layer, O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions involving the uncoordinated and half-occupied water mol­ecule and the free carboxyl­ate O atoms are observed. The layers stack along [010], constructing a three-dimensional structure through π–π inter­actions between adjacent pyridine rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.473 (5) Å.
