Abstract
Orange crystals of CpMn(CO)2(RC≡CR), where R = Ph or CH2OH (I and II, respectively), were prepared by the photochemical reaction of CpMn(CO)3 with tolan and 1,4-bulynediol. According to the X-ray structural analysis of I and II, the coordinated triple bond occupies the position of the displaced CO group in a CpMn(CO)3 "piano stool" and elongates from 1.19 Å in R2C2 to 1.242(5) or 1.233(4) Å, respectively, while the R-C≡C angles decrease, on the average, from 180° to 154.5(4)° or 152.8(3)°, respectively.
