H. Li, J.-G. Liu and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: In the title polymeric compound, [Mn(C₄H₄O₄)(C₇H₆N₂)₂(H₂O)]_n, the Mn^II atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by succinate dianions and benzimidazole and water molecules with an elongated octahedral coordination geometry. The long Mn-O(water) bond distance of 2.4982  (3)  Å shows the rather weak nature of this bond. The succinate dianion and water molecule are located on an inversion center and a twofold axis, respectively; they bridge the Mn^II atoms to form a polymeric structure.
