Abstract: In the title compound, {[Mn(C₇H₃NO₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, the Mn(II) atom has a distorted fac-MnN₃O₃ octahedral coordination geometry, defined by one N,N'-chelating bipyridine molecule, one N-bonded pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylate (pdb) anion, two monodentate O-bonded pdb anions and one water molecule. Adjacent Mn^II ions are bridged by pairs of pdb ligands to form distinctive squares, which are further linked by other pdb ligands to result in a layered coordination polymer exhibiting a wave-like structure. Hydrogen bonds involving both the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules help to consolidate the structure.
