Oxidative Addition of Diphenyl Disulfide/Thiophenol to [Mn(CO)5]−: Crystal Structure of cis-[Mn(CO)4(SPh)2]−

Oxidative addition of diphenyl disulfide to the coordinatively unsaturated [Mn(CO)₅]^? led to the formation of low-spin, six-coordinate cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^?. The complex cis-[PPN][Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂] crystallized in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 9.965(2) Å, b = 24.604(5) Å, c = 19.291(4) Å, β = 100.05(2)°, V = 4657(2)ų, and Z = 4; final R = 0.036 and R_w = 0.039. Thermal transformation of cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^? to [(CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)₃Mn(CO)₃]^? was completed overnight in THF at room temperature. Additionally, reaction of [Mn(CO)₅]^? and PhSH in 1:2 mole ratio also led to cis-[PPN](Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]. Presumably, oxidative addition of PhSH to [Mn(CO)₄]^? was followed by a Lewis acid-base reaction to form cis-[Mn(CO)₄(SPh)₂]^? with evolution of H₂.
