Abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C₇H₃Cl₂O₂)₂(C₃H₇NO)(H₂O)], the Mn^II atom is octahedrally coordinated by four O atoms from two bidentate 2,4-dichloro-6-formylphenolate ligands forming the equatorial plane, and by one O atom from a water molecule and one O atom from N,N-dimethylformamide trans in axial positions. A pseudo-dimer is constructed through O-HO, O-HCl and slipped - stacking (with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.692 Å and interplanar distance of 3.47 Å, giving an offset angle of 20°) interactions. Short ClCl interactions may help in stabilizing the packing.
