A novel 3D coordination polymer [Mn(tzda)(4,4 0 -bipy)(H 2 O)] n (1) of mixed ligands, (1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-diyldithio)diacetic acid (H 2 tzda) and 4,4 0 -bipyridine, has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectra. Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a 5 18.1657(9)Å , b 5 9.0882(5)Å , c 5 22.9333(12)Å . In the structure, each Mn(II) ion is in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, three among four coordination sites of the equatorial plane are occupied by the carboxylate oxygen atoms and the remaining site is occupied by the water molecule while the apical positions are occupied by two nitrogen atoms from two bipy molecules. The six-coordinated Mn ions are interlinked by flexible tzda ligands to form layers, which are sustained by rigid 4,4 0 -bipy ligands into a 3D open framework. The magnetic property of 1 was also investigated and the magnetic susceptibility data were rationally fitted with J 5 20.103 cm 21 , g 5 2.09, zJ 0 5 20.02 cm 21 , showing weakly antiferromagnetic interactions among Mn(II) ions in 1.
