Abstract: In the title complex, [Mn(C₁₉H₁₂BrN₃O₂)Cl(C₃H₇NO)], the Mn^III ion is coordinated by two N and two O atoms from the tetradentate Schiff base ligand, one O atom from the dimethylformamide ligand and a Cl anion in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-HCl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into centrosymmetric dimers with a short distance of 3.878 (3) Å between the centroids of the aromatic rings.
