In the title compound, [Mn(NCS)(2)(C(13)H(19)N(3)O)(H(2)O)], the Schiff base acts as an N,N',N"-tridentate ligand, forming two five-membered chelating rings with the Mn(II) atom. The distorted octa-hedral geometry around the metal atom is completed by two cis-positioned N-bound thio-cyanate ligands and one water mol-ecule. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked through O-H⋯O, O-H⋯S and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supra-mol-ecular structure. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond also occurs.
