Abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(H₂O)₆][Cu(C₁₂H₁₁N₂O₄)]₂·12H₂O, the Cu atom has a square-planar coordination with two N and two O atoms of the tetradentate Schiff base ligand. The centrosymmetric cation [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and anion [CuL]^- (L is a Schiff base derived from alanylglycine and salicylaldehyde) occupy a stacking structure within well separated columns along the c axis.
