Structure cristalline et moléculaire du cyclopentadiényle-carbonyle-bistriphénylphosphine-manganèse (benzénate), MnC5H5CO[P(C6H5)3]2•C6H6
The crystal and molecular structure of cyclopentadienylcarbonyl-bis(triphenylphosphine)-manganese(benzenate), MnC5H5CO[P(C6H5)3]2•C6H6, has been obtained from analysis of three dimensional X-ray data obtained with a precession camera. The red, rectangular crystals are triclinic, space group [Formula: see text] and have a unit cell with the following parameters: a = 9.83(2) Å, b = 14.79(1) Å, c = 11.36(2) Å, α = 69.44(8)°, β = 66.48(8)°, γ = 67.57(10)°, and z = 2. The final residual factor is 0.087 for the 4554 independent reflections used in the least squares refinement. The structure consists of individual molecules of Mn(C5H5)CO[P(C6H5)3]2. The distance [Formula: see text] is 2.16(1) Å. The coordinate CO (Mn—C: 1.748(9) Å, C—O: 1.172(11) Å) is perpendicular to the plane of the phosphorous and manganese atoms.The important characteristic is the angle P—Mn—P of 104(1)° (Mn—P: 2.237(3) Å). The angular opening of 14° is considered to be a consequence of an electrostatic repulsion between the two donor P atoms. [Journal translation]
