Mn₂(CO)₁₀ + Br₂ → 2 BrMn(CO)₅

The complex undergoes substitution by a variety of donor ligands (L), e.g. to give derivatives of the type BrMn(CO)₃L₂.

The complex adopts an octahedral coordination geometry.

Manganese pentacarbonyl bromide is a precursor to the arene complexes [(η⁶-arene)Mn(CO)₃]⁺.
