Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(PhCOO)(phen)₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)·dmf (PhCOO is benzoate, C₇H₅O₂, phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, C₁₂H₈N₂, and dmf is dimethylformamide, C₃H₇NO), contains a monomeric [Mn(PhCOO)(phen)₂(H₂O)]⁺ cation, a perchlorate anion and a dimethylformamide solvent molecule. The Mn²⁺ ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two phenanthroline ligands [Mn-N = 2.261  (3)-2.303  (3)  Å] and two O atoms from one aqua ligand [Mn-O = 2.156  (3)  Å] and a benzoate ligand [Mn-O = 2.124  (3)  Å], forming a distorted octahedral environment. Perchlorate and dmf are present outside the cation as anion and solvent molecule, respectively. There is an O-HO hydrogen-bonding interaction between one of the ligated water molecules and the dmf molecule.
