title: Bis[2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-phenolato]-dimethanol-manganese(III) chloride.
abstract: In the title compound, [Mn(C(13)H(9)N(2)O)(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)]Cl, the Mn(III) atom (site symmetry ) is coordinated by two N,O-bidentate 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenolate ligands and two methanol mol-ecules, to generate a distorted trans-MnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry for the metal ion. The dihedral angle between the aromatic ring systems in the ligand is 16.0 (3)°. In the crystal structure, the complex cations and chloride anions are linked by O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The chloride ion lies on a crystallographic twofold axis.
