Abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C₉H₇Br₂NO₂)₂]·0.5CH₄O·H₂O, the Mn^IV atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two N and four O atoms from two different tridentate 2,4-dibromo-6-[(2-oxidoethylimino)methyl]phenolate ligands. In the crystal structure, the methanol solvent molecule is disordered over two positions with equal occupancies. The crystal packing reveals a three-dimensional network generated by short BrBr interactions [BrBr = 3.555 (5)-3.742 (5) Å], and O-HO and O-HBr hydrogen bonds.
