The dipyrroloimidazolyl ligand is found to bind the pentacarbonylmanganese group to its central ring via a carbon-metal σ-bond. This bonding mode differs greatly from that of known imidazole complexes and from the pentahapto mode encountered with the isoelectronic fluorenyl ligand. The X-ray structure of the title compound is reported.
