                                    Reaction of two equivalents of K[1,3-(SiMe3)(2)C3H3] (= K[A']) with MnCl2 in THF produces the allyl complex A'Mn-2(thf)(2); if the reaction is conducted in ether, the solvent-free heterometallic manganate species K(2)MnA'(4) is isolated instead. With the related ally] K[1,1',3-(SiMe3)(3)C3H2] (= K[A '']), reaction with MnCl2 in THF/TMEDA produces the corresponding adduct A '' Mn-2(tmeda). In the solid state, both A'Mn-2(thf)(2) and A '' Mn-2(tmeda) are monomeric complexes with a-bonded ally! ligands (Mn-C = 2.174(2) and 2.189(2) angstrom, respectively). In contrast, K(2)MnA'(4) is a two-dimensional coordination polymer, in which two of the allyl ligands on the Mn cation are sigma-bonded (Mn-C = 2.197(6), 2.232(7) A) and the third is pi-bonded (Mn-C = 2.342(7)-2.477(7) angstrom). Both sigma-allyls are pi-coordinated to potassium cations, promoting the polymer in two directions; the pi-allyl ligand is terminal. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that isolated high-spin (C3R2H3)(2)Mn (R = H, SiMe3) complexes would possess pi-bound ligands. A mixed hapticity (pi-allyl) (sigma-allyl)MnE structure would result with the addition of either a neutral ligand (e.g., THF, MeCN) or one that is charged (Cl, H). Both allyl ligands in a bis(allyl)manganese complex are expected to adopt a sigma-bonded mode if two THF ligands are added, as is experimentally observed in A'Mn-2(thf)(2). The geometry of allyl-Mn(II) bonding is readily modified; DFT results predict that [(C3H5)Mn](+) and (C3H5)MnCl should be sigma-bonded, but the allyl in (C3H5)MnH is found to exhibit a symmetrical if-bonded arrangement. Some of this behavior is reminiscent of that found in bis(allyl)magnesium chemistry.
