Synthesis and Crystal Structure of an Air Stable Primary Phosphine-manganese (+1) Complex; fac -Tricarbonyl-tris( o-fluorophenylphosphine)- Manganese(+1)-hexafluorophosphate

The synthesis of an air-stable manganese(+I)-primary phosphine complex from fac -[Mn(CO) 3 (CH 3CN) 3]PF 6 and ( o-FC 6H4)PH 2 is described. The X-ray single crystal structure of the manganese (I) complex is reported.
