Abstract: In the title complex, [Mn(C₂₂H₁₈N₂O₂)Cl]·H₂O, the Mn^III center is in a distorted square-pyramidal configuration, with the N₂O₂ dianionic tetradentate Schiff base ligand in the basal plane and the chloride ion in the apical position. The dihedral angle between the two outer phenolate rings of the tetradentate ligand is 8.25 (8)°. The central benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 4.31 (8) and 7.37 (8)° with the two outer phenolate rings. The water molecule links to the complex via an O-HCl hydrogen bond. In addition, in the crystal structure, weak C-HO interactions link the molecules into infinite one-dimensional chains along [010]. The crystal is further stabilized by O-HO and O-HCl hydrogen bonds, together with weak C-H interactions
