Abstract: In the title coupound, [Mn(C₉H₆O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)]_n, the Mn^II ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Mn-N = 2.273 (3) and 2.305 (2) Å] from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four O atoms [Mn-O = 2.112 (2)-2.343 (3) Å] from three 5-methylisophthalate (mip) ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. Each mip dianion acts as a tetradentate ligand connecting three Mn ions. The crystal packing exhibits - interactions [3.599 (2)-3.755 (2) Å] between the centroids of the six-membered rings of neighbouring 1,10-phenanthroline ligands.
