J.-P. Li and J.-S. Zhao

Abstract: The title compound, [MnCl₂(C₁₅H₁₉N₃O₂)], was synthesized from the chiral ligand (R,R)-et-pybox {(R,R)-et-pybox is 2,6-bis[(4R)-4-ethoxyoxazolin-2-yl]pyridine}. The complex is mononuclear and its Mn atom has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. In the complex, (R,R)-et-pybox is coordinated in a tridentate fashion to the Mn atom via three N atoms, having a pybox-cation ratio of 1:1.
