The structures and magnetic properties of two products that result from the reactions of [Mn(TPA)(CH3CN)2](ClO4)2,TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and potassium tetracyanoethylenide, KTCNE, are reported. [Mn(TPA)(TCNE)]2[2-(TCNE)2] (1) and [Mn(TPA)(4-C4(CN)8)0.5]·ClO4 (2) are obtained by using two different ratios of the initialreactants. Each was intended to possess two or more cis-TCNE radical anions (TCNE/-) as ligands. 1 is a dinuclearspecies that crystallizes in the triclinic system in the space group P, with a = 10.4432(17), b = 12.2726(16), andc = 13.708(2) Å; = 88.505(12), = 75.560(14), and = 87.077(12); V = 1698.9(4) Å3; and Z = 1 andfeatures two metal centers each with three nearly orthogonal TCNE/- ligands. However, the three TCNE/- ligandsare all dimerized via the formation of four-center, two-electron bonds: two bridge the two Mn(II) centers, and athird TCNE/- ligand forms an intermolecular bond to another equivalent TCNE/-. 2 crystallizes in the tetragonalsystem in the space group P42212, with a = 17.170(3), b = 17.170(3), and c = 17.1837(6) Å; V = 5065.9(13)Å3; and Z = 8. It consists of a ribbon-like coordination polymer containing the previously observed but still relativelyrare octacyanobutyl dianion. The [C4(CN)8]2- anion is derived from the dimerization of two TCNE radical anions viathe formation of a new bond, and each anion bridges four Mn(II) centers. Both 1 and 2 display magnetic behaviorconsistent with only weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the high-spin d5 Mn(II) in which the TCNE/- arerendered diamagnetic through dimerization.
