Abstract
Abstract The reaction of (CO)5MnBr with phenoxatellurine (PT) provided the octahedral complex fac-(CO)3(PT)2MnBr in which the two PT ligands are situated in cis-position.

The three closely related reaction of (CO) ligands are arranged in a facial manner, which is consistent with the observation of three intense CO stretching vibrations at ῦ = 2007, 1943 and 1905 cm–1
The degree of folding within the butterfly conformation may be quantified by the fold angle α between the planes defined by the two phenyl rings and the Te and O atoms
Summary
Abstract: The reaction of (CO)5MnBr with phenoxatellurine (PT) provided the octahedral complex fac-(CO)3(PT)2MnBr in which the two PT ligands are situated in cis-position. Whilst researching the substitution of CO by alternative ligands, his group studied the reaction of (CO)5MnCl with phenoxatellurine (PT), which provided (CO)3(PT)2MnCl (1) as octahedral complex with an unknown constitution (Scheme 1) (Hieber and Kruck, 1962). We (re-)investigated the single-electron oxidation of PT (Mostaghimi et al, 2019a, 2019b) and the preparation of charge-transfer complexes with PT (Chulanova et al, 2017), which prompted us study the closely related reaction of (CO)5MnBr with PT that afforded an analogous complex fac-(CO)3(PT)2MnBr (2) as colourless, low-melting solid (Scheme 1).
