title: Manganese(II)-lithium and -sodium inverse crown ether (ICE) complexes.
abstract: Extending to transition metals, the class of compounds known as inverse crown ethers, two mixed alkali metal-manganese(II) amide ring compounds with oxo cores have been synthesised and crystallographically characterised, together with an oxo-free alkyl-amido precursor.
