Abstract: In the title compound, {[Mn(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, the Mn^II centre is octahedrally coordinated by three O atoms from two 5-methoxyisophthalate (CH₃O-ip) ligands, a fourth from a coordinated water molecule and two N atoms from one chelating 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2-bipy) ligand. Each pair of adjacent Mn^II atoms is bridged by a CH₃O-ip ligand, forming a helical chain running along a crystallographic 2₁ axis in the c-axis direction. These chains are decorated with 2,2'-bipy ligands on alternating sides. O-HO hydrogen bonding involving the water molecules stabilizes the crystal structure.
