Abstract
Single and double dearomatization of pyridine rings was observed in MnI complexes with an N2S2 pyridinophane ligand via deprotonation of one or two CH2 arms, respectively. In contrast to other N,S-donor pincer-like systems, the dearomatized (N2S2)Mn species were found to be stable, with the dearomatization being reversible.
