| Summary: | The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[MnBr2(C8H6N4)]·2H2O}n, contains one half of a repeat unit of the neutral linear coordination polymer and a solvent water molecule, with the MnII ion on a crystallographic twofold axis. In the polymer, inversion-related MnII ions are bridged by the bis-chelating 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym) ligands, thereby forming a chain structure along the c-axis direction, and are six-coordinated in a distorted cis-N4Br2 octahedral environment by four N atoms of twofold-related bpym ligands and twofold-related bromide anions. In the crystal, the complex polymers and solvent water molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H...Br and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional layered structure extending parallel to the ac plane.
