Crystal structure of µ-(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridylcadmium)-bis(pentacarbonylmanganese)(2Cd–Mn)
Abstract
Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic with a= 9·158, b= 18·895, c= 16·960 Å, β= 111·38°, Z= 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods from 3502 visually estimated intensities and refined by least-squares techniques to R 9·11%. The co-ordination of cadmium is very distorted trigonal bipyramidal and there is considerable distortion of the octahedral manganese co-ordination. The molecule has approximate C2 symmetry.
