The name of MnCl2(en)2 is dichlorobisethylenediaminemanganese(II) ion
when naming a complex compound the ligand are named before the metal ion. Since chlorine is a negative ligand its name end with O that is chloro.
Bis is used in front of ethylenediamine since it they are two and it is a more complicated ligand
