The title polymer, [Zn3(C8H8O5)2(C3H3N2)2(C3H4N2)2]n, was formed by the reaction of zinc acetate with imidazole and 7-oxabicyclo­[2.2.1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (norcan­tharidine). One of the two crystallographically unique ZnII atoms is four-coordinated by three N atoms of three imidazole ligands, two of which are deprotonated, and by one carboxyl­ate O atom of the demethyl­cantharate anion. The second ZnII atom is situated on an inversion centre and is six-coordinated by the bridging O atoms of two symmetry-related demethyl­cantharate anions and by four carboxyl­ate O atoms of the corresponding carboxyl­ate groups. The polymeric crystal structure is additionally stabilized by N—H...O hydrogen bonding between the imidazole ligands and carboxyl­ate O atoms.

In the title polymer, [Mn(C8H8O5)(H2O)2]n, the MnII atom is in a distorted octa­hedral coordination mode, binding to the bridging O atom of the bicyclo­heptane unit, two O atoms from corresponding carboxyl­ate groups, one carboxyl­ate O atom from a symmetry-related bridging ligand and two water O atoms. This arrangement leads to the formation of polymeric chains propagating parallel to [001]. The crystal structure is stabilized by several O—H...O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions involving the coordinated water mol­ecules as donors and the carboxyl­ate O atoms as acceptors.
