Abstract: The title complex, [Mn₂(C₈H₃NO₆)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]_n, was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The structure contains two independent Mn^II atoms, each coordinated in a distorted octahedral MnN₂O₄ geometry. [Mn₂(phen)₂] units (phen = 1,10-phenantroline) are bridged by 5-nitroisophthalate (nip) ligands into ladder-like chains parallel to [100]. Adjacent polymeric chains are linked by C-HO and - interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.6369 (12) Å] into a two-dimensional framework parallel to (010).
