The title compound, {[Mn(C22H15NO6)(C12H8N2)(H2O]·H2O}n, was obtained under solvothermal conditions. The Mn2+ cation exhibits a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal MnN2O5 coordination sphere with the water O atom and one of the phenanthroline N atoms in the axial positions. The cation is bridged by the doubly deprotonated 4,4′-[(4-carboxybenzyl)nitrilo]dibenzoate ligand, generating a polymeric chain parallel to [100]. O—HO hydrogen bonding, as well as π–π interactions between neighbouring phenanthroline ligands, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.695 (1) Å, lead to the construction of a three-dimensional network.

In the dinuclear title complex, [Cu2(C30H38N4O2)(H2O)2](ClO4)2, the coordination cation has crystallographically imposed twofold rotational symmetry. The CuII ion is five-coordinated by two N and two O atoms from the macrocylic ligand and one O atom from a water molecule, forming a square-pyramidal N2O3 geometry with the water molecule in the apical position. The distance between the two CuII atoms is 3.0930 (5) Å. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules and between water molecules and perchlorate anions assemble two cations and four anions into discrete supermolecules of S4 symmetry. Intramolecular O—HN hydrogen bonds are also observed. The perchlorate anion and the tert-butyl group are disordered over two positions, with occupancies of the major positions of 0.527 (11) and 0.592 (9), respectively.
