In 2005 we reported the first LMnÀMnL compound (L= CH (CMeNAr) 2, Ar= 2, 6-iPr2C6H3) obtained by the reduction of LMnCl with sodium–potassium alloy. The resulting compound contains two three-coordinate Mn atoms.[1] We were curious about the electronic, magnetic, and chemical properties of the compound when the coordination number at the manganese atom is further reduced. Our recent success in stabilizing a silicon atom in a two-coordinate environment using cyclic alkyl (amino) carbene (cAACD) encouraged us to follow a similar synthetic strategy in order to prepare a compound with a two-coordinate manganese atom.[2] Such two-coordinate transition metals are very rare and only little studied in coordination chemistry. The main reason for the instability of these species with two-coordinate transition metals is the intermolecular association to satisfy the coordination requirements.[3] In recent years, chemists have made strong efforts to overcome this difficulty by using bulky ligands. The search for such coordinatively unsaturated transition-metal complexes has been driven mainly by their interesting magnetic features.[4] In addition to the unique magnetic behavior, enormous possibilities for elusive chemical reactions at a coordinatively unsaturated site make twocoordinate metal centers interesting for chemists. So far, only a few compounds with a two-coordinate manganese center are known in the gaseous and solid phase, and complexes with linear geometry are rather uncommon.[5] The only reported complexes with two-coordinate manganese atoms and linear geometry in the solid phase are Mn [C (SiMe3) 3] 2 and Mn-[SAr] 2,(Ar= C6H3-2, 6 (C6H2-2, 4, 6-iPr3) 2). The latter compound exhibits secondary metal–ligand interactions.[5a–c] All the reported complexes with two-coordinate manganese ions are in their high-spin configuration with an S= 5/2 spin state and exhibit magnetic moments in the range of 5.1–6.0 μB. Herein we report a compound of composition (cAAC) 2Mn (2) with a two-coordinate manganese atom and linear geometry, and with a magnetic moment of 4.15 μB, which reflects a total spin ground state of ST= 3/2. In addition, we also report the facile splitting of molecular hydrogen at the radical centers of 2, resulting in the formation of (cAACH) 2Mn (3) which shows an S= 5/2 spin state because of the quenching of the radical nature of the carbene ligand.(cAAC:) MnCl2 (1) was obtained by reacting cAAC: and MnCl2 in a 1: 1 ratio in THF at room temperature. The reaction of 1 with KC8 and cAAC: in a 1: 2.1: 1 ratio afforded 2 as a deep-purple-colored product (Scheme1). The X-ray structure of 2 shows a linear geometry with C-Mn-C= 1808 (Figure 1). The MnÀC bond distance is 1.9655 (14), which is distinctly shorter than the corresponding bond length in
