title: Synthesis and crystal structure of a dinuclear, monomeric Mn(II) p-semiquinonato complex.
abstract: Herein, we report the first crystal structure of a monomeric p-semiquinonato d-block complex and its reactivity toward dioxygen, closely associated with a biological system of an oxygen evolving centre of photosystem II.
