Abstract: The two Mn atoms in the crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn₂(C₈H₄O₅)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]_n, are each chelated by the bipyridine heterocycle as well as by the carboxyl group of the dianionic ligand. Each Mn atom is covalently linked to the singly bonded carboxylate O atom of a second dianion and is datively linked to the carbonyl O atom of a third dianion. The Mn atoms exist in octahedral geometries in the linear polymeric chain.
