Thermolysis of [CpMn(eta(6)-cht)] with P-4 in 1,3-diisopropylbenzene leads to the formation of the heterocubane [Cp4Mn4P4] (1) in high yields, as a rare example of 'naked' phosphorus containing complexes of manganese. Compound 1 is characterized and studied by DFT calculations and reflection measurements. 1D coordination polymers [{(CpMn)(4)(mu(3)-P)(4)}(CuX)](n) (2-Cl: X = Cl; 2-Br: X = Br) are ...

Thermolysis of [CpMn(eta(6)-cht)] with P-4 in 1,3-diisopropylbenzene leads to the formation of the heterocubane [Cp4Mn4P4] (1) in high yields, as a rare example of 'naked' phosphorus containing complexes of manganese. Compound 1 is characterized and studied by DFT calculations and reflection measurements. 1D coordination polymers [{(CpMn)(4)(mu(3)-P)(4)}(CuX)](n) (2-Cl: X = Cl; 2-Br: X = Br) are obtained in the reaction with CuX. Furthermore, it is shown that all four P atoms in 1 can be addressed for a coordination towards cymantrene resulting in [{(CpMn)(4)(mu(3)-P)(4)}{CpMn(CO)(2)}(n)] (3a: n = 1; 3b: n = 2; 3c: n = 3; 3d: n = 4), and shows that 1 is a tetra-topic building block in coordination chemistry.
