One-dimensional co-ordination polymer of aqua-bridged binuclear manganese(II) carboxylate

A simple route for a novel sulphur containing one-dimensional aqua-bridged carboxylate co-ordination polymer of manganese(II) that have structural resemblance to biological aqua-bridged manganese systems is described. The manganese(II) co-ordination polymer is derived from dicarboxylate of (4-carboxymethoxy-2,3-bis-4-methylphenylsulfanyl-naphthalene-1-yloxy)-acetic acid and complex has pyridine as ancillary ligand.
