In the title compound, bis(N-nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylaminato)manganese, [Mn(C6H5N2O2)2], the MnII ion has a distorted octahedral coordination defined by four O atoms from two cupferron ligands and two O atoms of the nitroso groups of two adjacent cupferron ligands [Mn-O 2.142 (2)-2.198 (2) Å]. Each nitroso O atom coordinates to two MnII ions resulting in an (-Mn-O-Mn-)n network. The plane of the nitrosohydroxylaminato group is nearly coplanar with that of the phenyl ring.
