    Abstract

    Lucky thirteen: The first example of a manganese(II) allyl complex, [Li(thf)4] [Mn{η3(Me3Si)2C 3H3}{η1-(Me3Si) 2C3H3}2], contains a tris(allyl)-manganate monoanion (depicted). The structure of the anion was determined and shown to contain both π- and σ-allyl ligands, resulting in an unusually low valence-electron count of thirteen.
