The unusual planar manganese( III )‐sulfur complex [Mn(S 2 C 6 H 3 Me)2] − 1 is formed on reaction of MnCl 2 ·4H 2 O with toluene‐3,4‐dithiolate in methanol in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. A further product is the square‐pyramidal complex containing an additional apical MeOH group. Reaction under anaerobic conditions leads to formation of the manganese( II )‐sulfur complex [Mn(S 2 C 6 H 3 Me) 2 ] 2− , which differs from 1 through its strongly distorted tetrahedral coordination.
