Platinum–manganese and –rhenium complexes with bridging thiocarbonyl ligands; crystal structure of [Mnpt(µ-CS)(CO)2(PMePh2)2(η-C5H5)]
Abstract
The dynamic complexes [MPt(µ-CS)(CO)2-(PR3)2(η-C5H5)](M = Mn, PR3= PMe2Ph or PMePh2; M = Re, PR3= PMe2Ph) have been prepared by allowing the compounds [M(CO)2(CS)(η-C5H5)] to react with the species [Pt(C2H4)(PR3)2], and an X-ray diffraction study on [MnPt(µ-CS)(CO)2(PMePh2)2(η-C5H5)] has confirmed the presence of the bridging thiocarbonyl ligand and revealed a strongly semi-bridging CO group.
