Hexa-acetate-tetra-aqua-trimanganese diglycine dihydrated retains the two-dimensional character of commercial manganese diacetate tetrahydrate. The manganese atoms assemble in short centrosymetric chains that are further bridged through the carboxylic group of the acetate ions agglomerating the chains into a two-dimensional pattern. The layers are bonded through H-bonds involving the zwitterionic glycine and the solvate water molecules. Susceptibility measurements show a ferrimagnetic behaviour of the sample.
