| Summary: | The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [MnBr2(C6H4NO2)(H2O)2]n, contains one monomeric unit of the neutral linear coordination polymer. The Mn3+ ions are bridged by anionic pyridine-2-carboxylate (pic) ligands, thereby forming a chain-like structure along the c axis, and are six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment by two O atoms of the two different carboxylate groups, two O atoms of two water molecules and two Br atoms. The complex displays intermolecular O—H...Br, O—H...N, O—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonding. There may also be intermolecular π–π interactions between adjacent pyridine rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.993 (8) Å.
