Abstract

The new compound [Mn(CO)4(S2PMe2] (A) has been prepared by the photochemical reaction of Mn2(CO)10 and Me2P(S)P(S)Me2 in benzene solution. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study confirms that the manganese atom in A is six-coordinate with a distorted octahedral array around the metal centre: the dithiophosphinate ligand adopts a chelating bidentate mode of coordination. The two PS distances [2.008(4) and 2.004(4) Å] are equal within the limits of experimental error, as indeed are the two MnS distances [2.419(4) and 2.423(4) Å]. The "bite" S...S distance is ca 3.196 Å. The Mn(CO)4 moiety adopts local C2v symmetry. The crystallographic data are backed up by an IR spectroscopic study.
