Abstract
THE crystallographic constants of manganese cyclo-pentadienide1 indicate that the crystal structure of this compound is different from those of other ferrocene-type molecules. Elucidation of its structure is imperative for an explanation of the strong metal–metal interactions found to exist in the crystals of manganese cyclopentadien-ide. Magnetic measurements performed by Cotton, Wilkinson and Birmingham showed the crystals to be antiferromagnetic with a Néel temperature of 134° K (ref. 2).
