Z.-Q. Hu, L.-B. Wu and G.-Q. Lai

Abstract: The title Mn^II complex, [Mn(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], has twofold symmetry, with the Mn^II atom located on a twofold axis. Two 4-hydroxybenzoate anions and two 2,2'-bipyridine coordinate to the Mn^II atom which has a distorted octahedral geometry. Hydrogen bonding between the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups forms a sheet perpendicular to the a axis.
