Abstract: In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(C₂O₄)(C₃H₁₀N₂)₂]Cl·H₂O, there are two independent Mn^III complexes, two Cl^- anions and two uncoordinated water molecules. Each Mn^III atom is hexacoordinated by four N atoms from two propane-1,3-diamine ligands and two O atoms from one oxalate ligand, resulting in a slightly distorted octahedral MnO₂N₄ geometry. Mn-O and Mn-N bond lengths are in the ranges 1.969 (2)-2.020 (3) and 2.068 (3)-2.113 (4) Å, respectively. There are weak intermolecular O-HO, O-HCl, N-HO and N-HCl hydrogen bonds with DA distances in the range 2.831 (4)-3.423 (3) Å.
