In the title compound, poly[[(2,2'-bipyridine-kappa(2)N,N')manganese(II)]-micro(3)-N-tosyl-L-glutamato-kappa(4)O,O':O":O"'], [Mn(tsgluo)(bipy)](n), where tsgluo is N-tosyl-L-glutamate (C(12)H(13)NO(6)S) and bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine (C(10)H(8)N(2)), the Mn atoms are octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one bipy ligand and by four O atoms of three tsgluo(2-) anions. The gamma-carboxyl group coordinates to the Mn(II) atom in a chelating mode, while the alpha-carboxyl group coordinates in a bidentate-bridging mode. The complex displays a one-dimensional double-chain structure.
