Abstract: Reactions of equimolar rations of MnCl2?4H2O and the tridentate ligands 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-dimethylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine (L1), 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diethy phenylimino)ethyl]pyridine (L2), and 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-dimethylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine(L3) in acetonitrile afford the five-coordinated complexes L1Mn(II)Cl2?CH3CN(Mn1), L2Mn(II)Cl2?CH3CN(Mn2) and L3Mn(II)Cl2?CH3CN(Mn3), respectively. All complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic studies on complexes Mn1–Mn3 reveal three complexes to be pentacoordinate with geometries that can be best described as distorted trigonal bipyramidal. Mn1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with a = 1.3304(3) nm, b = 1.4864(3) nm, c = 1.4423(3) nm; β = 108.41(3)?, V = 2.7063(9) nm3, Z = 4, F(000) = 1116 , R1 = 0.0465. Mn2 belongs to monoclinic system with space group P21/c, with a = 1.2919(1) nm, b = 1.5283(1) nm, c = 1.6362(1) nm; β = 99.27(1)?, V = 3.1883(3) nm3, Z = 4, F(000) = 1244, R1 = 0.0599. Mn3 belongs to monoclinic system with space group P21/n, with a = 1.4542(3) nm, b = 1.5083(3) (1) nm, c = 1.4646(3) nm; β = 112.56(3)?, V = 2.9667(10) nm3, Z = 4, F(000) = 1180, R1 = 0.0627. Complexes Mn1–Mn3 exhibit lower catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization after activation with cocatalysts of [Ph3C]+[B(C6F5)4]-.
