Abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C₁₆H₁₃Br₂NO₃)(C₁₂H₈N₂)]·2H₂O, the Mn^II atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal geometry by one N and two O atoms from the tridentate 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-oxidobenzylamino)-3-phenylpropionate ligand and two N atoms from the bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The benzyl group is oriented so that an additional axial interaction with the aromatic ring imparts pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry to the Mn^II atom.
