Abstract: The layer structure of the title compound, [Mn₃(C₂O₄)₃(C₁₀H₈N₂)₄]_n, consists of undulating manganese(II) oxalate chains with terminal and bridging 4,4'-bipyridine ligands stacked alternately along the chains. The compound is isostructural with [Fe₃(C₂O₄)₃(C₁₀H₈N₂)₄], the structure of which has previously been described in detail [Zheng, Fang, Lii, Song, Xin, Fun, Chinnakali & Razak (1999). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 2311-2316].
