Abstract

In the title coordination polymer, {[Mn(C12H14O4)(C12H8N2)(H2O)]·H2O}n, the MnII atom has a highly distorted cis-MnN2O4 octahedral geometry arising from its coordination by a bidentate phenanthroline ligand, a water molecule and monodentate and bidentate adamantane-1,3-dicarboxylate dianions. The bridging dianion leads to [001] chains in the crystal. The chains are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, involving both the coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules, thereby forming a two-dimensional network.
