Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title polymer, [Mn(C₁₂H₆N₂O₄)(H₂O)₂]_n, consists of an Mn^II ion, which lies on a twofold axis, one half of a 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylate dianion and a coordinated water molecule. The one-dimensional chains extend into two-dimensional sheets via O-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions. The crystal packing of the two-dimensional sheets appears to be dominated by aromatic - interactions.
