A μ-phenolato-μ-chlorido-bridged dinuclear manganese(II) complex with 2,6-bis(N-(4-imidazolylethyl)iminomethyl)-4-methylphenol (Hbimmp), [Mn2(bimmp)(μ-Cl)Cl2], was isolated. The crystal structure was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 293 K. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with a = 40.557(4), b = 9.2353(9), c = 12.5138(2)Å, V = 4687.1(8)Å3, Dcalcd = 1.603 g/cm3, Z = 8. The R1 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 (all data) values are 0.0309 and 0.0826, respectively, for all 2683 independent reflections. The two manganese(II) atoms are bridged by a phenolato-oxygen of bimmp− and a μ-chlorido atom, where each manganese(II) atom is further coordinated by imino- and imidazolyl-nitrogen atoms of bimmp− and chlorido atoms to form a square-pyramidal geometry.
