The title compound, [Mn(C2H5O)2(C44H28N4)]PF6, was synthesized from manganese(III) 2,4-pentanedionate and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylcalix[4]pyrrole by a hydrothermal reaction. The MnIII atom is located on an inversion centre and the asymmetric unit comprises one half-formula unit. The MnIII ion is hexacoordinated by four N atoms from one 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylcalix[4]pyrrole ligand and two O atoms from two deprotonated ethanol molecules. The equatorially located atoms (the Mn and four N atoms) are planar. The dihedral angles between the planes of the phenyl rings and the equatorial plane are 53.3 (2) and 81.8 (2)°. One hexafluorophosphate anion balances the charge.
