摘要
In the title compound, {[Mn(C15H8O7)(C10H8N2)(H2O)3]﹞C10H8N2﹞2H2O}n, the bridging mode of the coordinating 4,4∩-bipyridine ligands leads to the formation of polymeric zigzag chains parallel to [0-11]. The chains are separated by 4,4∩-bipyridine and water solvent molecules. Within a chain, the MnII atom is six-coordinated by two N atoms of the bridging 4,4∩-bipyridine ligands, three water O atoms and one carboxylate O atom of a single deprotonated 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)phthalic acid ligand. Both coordinating and solvent 4,4∩-bipyridine molecules are situated on centres of inversion. An intricate network of O〞H...O and O〞H...N hydrogen bonds involving the carboxy group, the coordinating water molecules and the two types of solvent molecules leads to the formation of a three-dimensional network.
