    abstract = "The synthesis, structure, vibrational analysis and a comparative
vibrational study in function of the structure and the metal-ligand bond
strength are discussed for a series of Mn(II)-urea-halogenide complexes.
Complex [MnCl2U] has been prepared and studied fur the first time. The
single-crystal X-ray structure of the 1:6-bromide complex reveals the
presence of octahedral [MnU6](2+) ions and bromide counterions. (C)
