Abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(H₂O)₆]Cl₂·2C₆H₁₂N₄·4H₂O, each Mn^II atom, located on a centre of symmetry, is coordinated by six water molecules in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) molecule does not coordinate to the Mn atom but links with the Mn complex via three O-HN hydrogen bonds. The remaining N atom of the HMTA is hydrogen-bonded to the solvent water molecule.
