We show here that the incorporation of Mn in Ba-Co-oxohalide, BaCoX{sub 0.2-x}O{sub 3-{delta}}, hexagonal perovskite stabilizes the 6H-form (stacking sequence (chhhch Prime ); c, h=[BaO{sub 3}] and h Prime =[BaOX] layers), with tetramers of face-sharing octahedra) rather than the trimeric 10H-form. On the contrary to previous results on the Fe incorporation in similar system leading to more reduced 10H-compounds, the Mn effect is to increase the mean (Co/Mn) valence better suited to the 6H form. We experienced a poor Mn/Co miscibility during our syntheses leading to great difficulties to isolate mixed Co/Mn single phase materials and/or weak reproducibility. Powder neutron diffraction data shows a mixed Mn/Co octahedral occupancy, while the tetrahedra are filled by Co{sup 3+} cations. Anionic vacancies were refined in the h Prime -[BaO{sub 1-z}X{sub 1-x}] layer and the next c-[BaO{sub 3-z}] layers, while the h-[BaO{sub 3}] layers are not oxygen deficient. Magnetic properties suggest that a part of Mn cations remain paramagnetic until low temperature, while isolated spin clusters (probably driven by AFM Co tetrahedral dimers) behave as low-dimensional AFM systems. Transport measurements reveal a transition from high-temperature metallic to low-temperature semi-conducting states that could occur from defect shallow donor upon the Mn for Co substitution. - Graphical abstract: The incorporation of Mn in Ba-Co-oxohalide, BaCoX{sub 0.2-x}O{sub 3-{delta}}, hexagonal perovskite stabilizes the 6H-form with tetrameric (Co,Mn){sub 4}O{sub 15} face sharing linear chains. This results from a oxidizing Mn effect and particular Mn/Co distribution. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The incorporation of Mn in BaCoX{sub 0.2-x}O{sub 3-{delta}} (X=F,Cl) hexagonal perovskites stabilizes the 6H-form. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer It contains tetrameric (Co,Mn){sub 4}O{sub 15} face sharing linear chains. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The preference for such chains better than trimeric ones is due to the Manganese oxidizing effect. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer A particular Mn/Co distribution was evidenced. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Transport and magnetic properties drastically change during the Mn incorporation.
