Abstract: The title compound, {[Mn₂(CH₃CO₂)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·H₂O}_n, is a one-dimensional coordination polymer with a ladder-like structure. Two Mn^II atoms, each coordinated by a chelating acetate ligand, are bridged by two bidentate acetate ligands to form a centrosymmetric [Mn₂(CH₃CO₂)₄] unit. Two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands link the [Mn₂(CH₃CO₂)₄] units through Mn-N bonds to generate a molecular ladder. The water O atom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis.
