catena‐Poly­[[aqua(2,2′‐bi­pyridine‐κ2N,N′)­manganese(II)]‐μ‐terephthalato‐κ3O,O′:O′′]

The title complex, [Mn(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]_n, takes the form of a zigzag chain, with the terephthalate dianion (tp) acting as a tridentate ligand. The Mn^II center is surrounded by two tp ligands, one water mol­ecule and one 2,2′‐bi­pyridine (bipy) ligand and exhibits a severely distorted octahedral coordination environment, with cis angles ranging from 57.31 (8) to 123.97 (11)°. The complete solid‐state structure can be described as a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework stabilized by hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving the coordinated water mol­ecule and the carboxy O atoms of the tp ligands, and by π–π stacking interactions involving the bipy rings and the benzene ring of the tp ligand.
