Abstract: The title complex, {[Mn(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂](C₁₄H₉O₄S₂)₂}_n, contains an octahedrally coordinated Mn^II cation and 2-(2-carboxyphenyldisulfanyl)benzoate anions. The Mn^II center is situated on a crystallographic center of inversion and is coordinated by four 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) ligands and two water molecules. The 4,4'-bipy ligands act as bridging ligands, producing a fishing-net-like two-dimensional framework. In the crystal structure, this positively charged framework is charge balanced by 2-(2-carboxyphenyldisulfanyl)benzoate anions that form a separate anionic two-dimensional framework via intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds and C-H stacking interactions. Additional intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds link the cationic and anionic frameworks to form the three-dimensional crystal structure.
