Tetra-ethyl-ammonium tri-μ-phenolato-bis-[tricarbonyl-manganate(I)].

ABSTRACT: The title compound, (C(8)H(20)N)[Mn(2)(C(6)H(5)O)(3)(CO)(6)], was synthesized from [Mn(CO)(3)(CH(3)CN)(3)]BF(4) and (C(8)H(20)N)(OC(6)H(5)). The binuclear anion exhibits a pseudo-threefold symmetry and contains two six-coordinate Mn atoms. Each metal atom is coordinated by three facially oriented CO ligands and three doubly-bridging phenolate ligands. The average O-Mn-O bond angle is 74.9 (7)° in the Mn(2)O(3) metal-phenolate dimeric core, yielding a distorted octa-hedron for each metal.
