In the title coordination polymer, {[FeMn(C5H5)(C13H7O4)(C10H9N3)(H2O)]·CH3OH·H2O}n, the MnII ion has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry and is ligated by two N atoms from two di-2-pyridylamine molecules, three O atoms from two 5-ferrocenylbenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate anions and one O atom from a coordinated water molecule. The Mn—O distances range from 2.151 (2) to 2.5093 (19) Å, while the Mn—N distances are 2.226 (2) and 2.248 (2) Å. Each 5-ferrocenylbenzene-1,5-dicarboxylate anion links to two MnII ions, resulting in a chain along the b axis. A three-dimensional network of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds helps to stabilize the crystal packing.
