Abstract: One of the two independent Mn atoms of the polymeric title compound, [Mn₃(C₁₆H₁₀O₄)₃(H₂O)₂]_n, lies on a special position of 3 site symmetry and the other on a special position of $\\overline{3}$ site symmetry. One end of the 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate dianion bridges the two independent Mn atoms. The water-coordinated Mn atom on the threefold axis is linked to the O atoms of three dianions in a tetrahedral environment. The Mn atom is linked to the O atoms of six different dianions in an octahedral geometry.
