The crystal structure of a manganese(II) 1-allylimidazole complex ([Mn(1-AIm)₃(NO₃)₂], where 1-Aim=1-allylimidazole), was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using SHELX-97.

Its X‐ray structure showed a distorted square‐pyramidal geometry and the compound does not undergo dissociation in solution, as shown by variable‐temperature NMR and UV–Vis studies. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided an insight into the bonding; the nickel dsp²‐hybridized orbitals form the basal plane and the nearly pure p orbital forms the axial bond. This is consistent with the NBO (natural bond orbital) analysis of analogous nickel(II) complexes.
