Bis(triphenylphosphineoxide) manganese(III) chloride is a coordination complex of manganese(III) chloride. Unlike most compounds containing "Mn(III)Cl₃", can be stored under normal laboratory conditions. It is a blue, paramagnetic solid.

Synthesis and reactions

Treatment of meta-stable solutions of Mn(III)Cl₃ with triphenylphosphine oxide results in precipitation of solid . This compound was first prepared using the thermally unstable ethereal adduct (dioxane)Mn(III)Cl₃. A convenient synthesis starts from Mn(OAc)₂, trimethylsilylchloride, and potassium permanganate.

can be used as a starting material in coordination chemistry.

can also be used as a stoichiometric reagent in alkene dihalogenation reactions.
