Catena-Poly[4,4′-bipyridinium [[diaquadisulfatomanganate(II)]-μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2N:N′] dihydrate

Abstract

The title complex, {(C10H10N2)[Mn(SO4)2(C10H8N2)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, consists of an anionic one-dimensional chain, diprotonated 4,4′-bipyridine cations and uncoordinated water mol­ecules. In the anionic chain, the Mn atom lies on a center of inversion in an octa­hedral geometry. Hydrogen bonds link the chains into a three-dimensional architecture.
