One-pot synthesis of fac-[Mn(CO)3(P-P)Cl] from Mn2(CO)10, [P-P] and chlorinated solvents: [P-P] = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane (depe), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) or 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp). The X-ray crystal structure of fac-[Mn(CO)3(depe)Cl]

In a one-pot reaction, the three titled manganese chloride complexes were prepared by refluxing Mn₂(CO)₁₀ with (P-P) in 2-chloroethanol for two hours. The new compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectra and microanalyses. The X-ray crystal structure of fac-Mn(CO)₃(depe)Cl is also reported.
