Abstract: The manganese(II) coordination polymer, poly[bis(2,2'-bipyridine)tris(-1,4-phenylenediacetato-⁴O,O':O'',O''')trimanganese(II)], [Mn₃(C₁₀H₈O₄)₃(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]_n, consists of linear trinuclear building blocks with two crystallographically unique Mn atoms. One Mn^II ion and the geometric centre of one 1,4-phenylenediacetate ligand in the trinuclear unit both lie on inversion centres. Trinuclear units are bridged by 1,4-phenylenediacetate ligands to yield a two-dimensional network which stacks into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure via - stacking interactions.
