Abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₉H₁₂N₄)₂], the Mn^II atom (site symmetry ) is six-coordinated by two bidentate phenanthrene and two monodentate benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligands, resulting in a distorted trans-MnO₂N₄ octahedral coordination geometry. The Mn^II atoms are bridged by the centrosymmetric benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligands to form an extended single-chain structure. In addition, neighbouring single chains interact through - interactions, generating a two-dimensional network.
