The crystal structure of Mn(NO) 3P(C 6H 5) 3: The first x-ray analysis of a mononuclear metal trinitrosyl complex

The structure of Mn(NO) 3PPh 3 has been analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It shows a tetrahedral geometry with essentially linear nitrosyl groups, and an eclipsed configuration around the MnP bond. Average distances and angles are: MnN 1.686(7) Å, MnP 2.315(2) Å, NO 1.165(10) Å, PC...

Summary:The structure of Mn(NO) 3PPh 3 has been analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It shows a tetrahedral geometry with essentially linear nitrosyl groups, and an eclipsed configuration around the MnP bond. Average distances and angles are: MnN 1.686(7) Å, MnP 2.315(2) Å, NO 1.165(10) Å, PC 1.815(4) Å, MnNO 177.2(7)°, PMnN 103.6(2)°, NMnN 114.7(4)°. Final R factor 7.3% for 2064 non-zero reflections. The structure of the five-coordinate nitrito complex Mn(NO) 2(ONO)(PEt 3) 2 is also mentioned briefly.
