Abstract: The title compound (systematic name: aqua{4,4'-dibromo-2,2'-[1,2-ethanediylbis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenolato]chloromanganese(III)), [Mn(C₁₆H₁₂Br₂N₂O₂)Cl(H₂O)] or [Mn(Br₂salen)Cl(H₂O)], was prepared from a methanol solution. The Mn³⁺ ion displays an elongated octahedral geometry, coordinated by two N and two O atoms from salen, one O atom from the water ligand and one Cl^- anion, and is slightly displaced out of the Schiff base N₂O₂ plane toward the axial Cl^- ion. Hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water O and Cl atoms link pairs of molecules into a three-dimensional network.
