title: Triaqua-chlorido[3-dimethyl-amino-1-(2-pyrid-yl)prop-2-en-1-one-κN]manganese(II) chloride.
abstract: In the title compound, [MnCl(C(10)H(12)N(2)O)(H(2)O)(3)]Cl, the Mn(II) ion has a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment formed by one N and one O atom from the chelating 3-dimethyl-amino-1-(2-pyrid-yl)prop-2-en-1-one ligand, one chloride anion and three coordinated water mol-ecules. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into layers parallel to the ac plane.
