The inorganic-organic hybrid manganese(II)-quinate was synthesized in aqueous solutions at the optimum pH 3. It was isolated in pure crystalline form and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-Infrared and X-Ray crystallography. The new inorganic-organic hybrid contains manganese ions in an octahedral environment where each manganese ion coordinates to two quinic acids.
