In the title compound, [Mn(C 13 H 8 N 3 O 3 ) 2 ]C 3 H 7 NOH 2 O, the metal atom is O,N,O 0 -chelated by two deprotonated Schiff bases and exists in a distorted octahedral geometry. The N–H groups, the carbonyl group of the DMF molecule and the uncoordinated water molecule engage in N—HO and O— HO hydrogen-bonding interactions, generating a hydrogen- bonded ribbon that propagates along [110].
