M.-L. Hu and N.-W. Zhu

Abstract: In the title compound, {[Mn(endc)(phen)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n [phen is 1,10-phenanthroline (C₁₂H₈N₂) and endc is the endo-norbornene-cis-5,6-dicarboxylate anion (C₉H₈O₄)], each Mn^II ion is surrounded by two N atoms from a phen ligand, four O atoms from water molecules and two carboxylate groups of two endc anions, with one endc carboxylate group coordinating in a monodentate fashion and the other in a chelating fashion, forming a distorted MnO₄N₂ octahedron. The endc anions act as bridges between Mn^II ions, resulting in a zigzag chain structure along the [010] axis.
