A mixed-halogen tricarbonyl manganese(I) complex: fac- MnBr0.3Cl0.7{Ph2P(CH2)(3)PPh2}(CO)(3)

Crystals of the mixed halogen complex, fac-(bromo/chloro)tricarbonyl[ 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino) propane] manganese( I), fac-[MnBr0.3Cl0.7(C30H26O3P2)(CO)(3)], were obtained from a prolonged recrystallization attempt of [MnBr{Ph2P(CH2)(3)PPh2}( CO)(3)] from CHCl3/hexane solution at 263 K.

Description
Summary:Crystals of the mixed halogen complex, fac-(bromo/chloro)tricarbonyl[ 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino) propane] manganese( I), fac-[MnBr0.3Cl0.7(C30H26O3P2)(CO)(3)], were obtained from a prolonged recrystallization attempt of [MnBr{Ph2P(CH2)(3)PPh2}( CO)(3)] from CHCl3/hexane solution at 263 K. Common coordinates are found for all but the halogen atoms in the disordered structure, but the Mn-X vectors differ by 3.5 (5)degrees and the M - X bond lengths differ by 0.10 ( 1) Angstrom.
