The synthesis and structures of the first SiII‐donor supported manganese(II) complexes [L1]MnCl2, [L2]MnCl2, and [L3]2MnCl2 are reported, bearing a pincer‐type bis(NHSi)‐pyridine ligand L1, bidentate bis(NHSi)‐ferrocene ligand L2, and two monodentate NHSi ligands L3 (NHSi = N‐heterocyclic silylene),...
