Abstract: In the title complex, [FeMn(C₈H₈N₃)₂Cl₂(H₂O)₂]_n, the Mn^II atom, located on an inversion center, is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms from two adjacent 1,1'-bis(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)ferrocene (btmf) ligands and two Cl atoms forming the equatorial plane, with the axial positions occupied by two O atoms of coordinated water molecules. The btmf ligands link adjoining Mn^II atoms into a zigzag chain along the a axis. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-HN hydrogen bonds, which link the chains, forming a two-dimensional layer parallel to (10 $\\overline{1}$ ); O-HCl interactions link the layers, forming a three-dimensional network.
