The title compound, whose aqua ligand is exceedingly labile, crystallizes in a monoclinic form without a solvent molecule of crystallization. A recently observed triclinic form of this complex crystallized as a monohydrate. The Mn-O distance [2.102(3)Å] is consistent with the bond distance reported for the triclinic form [2.075(2)Å] and the related complex [(depe)(CO)3Mn(OH2)]BF4 [2.115(2)Å; depe is 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane].
