A new first-order phase transition at T=92 K has been detected in single crystals of ((CH3)4N)2MnCl4 by means of several optical techniques. The phase transition displays a large thermal hysteresis, Delta T=12 K. Coexistence of phases below 92 K is also detected. The sensitivity of the optical absorption of the crystal, as well as that of emission, excitation and lifetime of MnCl2-4 units for detecting this phase transition is analysed in detail. The results are also compared with those corresponding to the P1121/n-P121/c1 phase transition at T=171 K.
