catena-Poly[[diaqua-manganese(II)]-di-µ-pyridine-3-sulfonato-κN:O;κO:N].

ABSTRACT

In the title polymeric complex, [Mn(C(5)H(4)NO(3)S)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Mn atom is located on a centre of inversion and is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms derived from four different pyridine-3-sulfonate (pySO(3)) ligands, and two O atoms derived from two water mol-ecules in a distorted trans-N(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. The metal atoms are bridged by the pySO(3) ligands to form a one-dimensional chain. The chains are further connected into a three-dimensional architecture via hydrogen bonds.
