Poly[triaqua(μ-benzene-1,3-dioxyacetato)manganese(II)]: a two-dimensional manganese(II) coordination polymer

Abstract

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(C10H8O6)(H2O)3]n, the two half-MnII atoms lie on inversion centres. One MnII atom is in an octahedral configuration, defined by two O atoms from two monodentate carboxyl­ate groups and four water mol­ecules, and the other MnII atom exists in a different octahedral coordination environment, defined by four O atoms from four monodentate carboxyl­ate groups and two water mol­ecules. The MnII atoms are bridged by a benzene-1,3-dioxy­acetate dianion in monodentate and bridging-bidentate modes, forming a two-dimensional layer structure.
