Abstract

The new heterobimetallic bridging acetyl complex Cp(CO)Fe(μ-C(O)CH3)μ-PPh2)Mn(CO)4 (1) has been prepared by the reaction of CH3Mn(CO)5 with PPh2FeCp(CO)2 been refined to R = 0.044 and Rw = 0.042 for the 3353 reflections with I > 3σ(I). The acetyl ligand bridges the Fe and Mn centers with the acetyl carbon attached to Fe and the oxygen bound to Mn. The nonbonded metals (Fe. Mn = 3.718 Å) are also bridged by the μ-PPh2 ligand. The chemistry of complex 1 has been examined with HBF4, [{CH3)3O]BF4, [Ph3C]BF4, H2, PPh2Me, and MeLi, and these reactions are discussed. Reaction of HMn(CO)5 with PPh2FeCp(CO)2 gives the bridging hydride complex Cp(CO)Fe(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)Mn(CO)4 (3), which has also been structurally characterized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2l/n with a = 10.795 (4) Å, b = 13.931 (2) Å, c = 14.497 (4) Å, β = 102.08 (3)°, V = 2132 (2) Å3, and Z = 4. The structure has been refined for the 2412 reflections with I > 2σ(I) to R = 0.057 and Rw = 0.063. The Fe and Mn atoms are separated by 2.806 (1) Å and are bridged by the hydride and the μ- PPh2 ligand. The Fe atom is further coordinated by the Cp ligand and one CO, and Mn has four additional CO ligands.
