The structural and magnetic data for the Mn(i) dialkyl anionic salts [K2(18-crown-6)3][Mn{C(SiMe3)3}2]2 and [K(15-crown-5)2][Mn{C(SiMe3)3}2] are presented, indicating that these complexes possess a non-degenerate S = 2 ground state owing to 4s–3dz2 mixing upon reduction from the Mn(ii) parent complexes. |
