Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Complexes, Crystal StructureThe reaction of [C5Cl4(SMe)]Mn(CO)3 (la) with n-butyllithium and the electrophiles SiMe3Cl, CO2, or PPh2Cl regiospecifically yields the chiral 1,3-disubstituted functional cymantrene thioethers [C5Cl3(SMe)R]Mn(CO)3 (R = SiMe3 (2), COOLi (3a), PPh2 (4)). 3 a can be protonated to give the corresponding carboxylic acid (3b), which in turn can be transformed to the acid chloride [C5Cl3(SMe)(COCl)]Mn(CO)3 (3c). 3c reacts with NaN3 to yield after work-up the urea derivative OC[[NH—C5Cl3(SMe)]Mn(CO)3]2 (3d). Using the cymantrene bisthioethers [C5Cl3(SR)2]Mn(CO)3 (R = Me, 5a, Ph, 5b) as starting materials, the carboxyl derivatives [C5Cl2(SMe)2(COR)]Mn(CO)3 (R = OLi, 6a, OH, 6b, Cl, 6c) and the potential organometallic S,P-chelate ligands [C5Cl2(SR)2(PPh2)]Mn(CO)3 (R = Me, 7a, Ph, 7b) can be obtained. The crystal structure determination of 7a (C22H16O3PS2Cl2Mn, monoclinic, P 21/c, a = 18.714(6) A, b = 9.506(3) A, c = 14.475(3) Α, β = 109.18(2)°, V = 2432.1(12) Α3, Z = 4) shows an orientation of the neighbouring PPh2- and SMe groups, that allows chelation of an additional metal fragment.
