Chlorido{4,4′-dichloro-2,2′-[1,2-phenyl­enebis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato-κ(4) O,N,N′,O′}(methanol-κO)manganese(III)

In the title complex, [Mn(C(20)H(12)Cl(2)N(2)O(2))Cl(CH(3)OH)], the Mn(III) atom is in an octa­hedral coordination geometry with the N(2)O(2) atoms of the doubly-deprotonated Schiff base forming a square around it. The chloride ion and the O atom of the methanol mol­ecule occupy the other two positions of the octa­hedron. The dihedral angle between the two outer phenolate rings of the tetra­dentate ligand is 20.27 (12)°. The central phenyl­ene ring makes dihedral angles of 18.62 (12) and 6.02 (12)° with the two outer phenolate rings. Hydrogen bonds of the O—H⋯Cl type link the mol­ecules into an infinite chain along [010]. These chains are arranged into sheets parallel to the ab plane and these sheets are connected by weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions into a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions.
