J. L. Krinsky, M. N. Stavis and M. D. Walter

Abstract: The title compound, [Mn₂Cl₂(C₁₇H₂₉)₂(C₄H₈O)₂]·C₅H₁₂, crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer with a chloro-bridged dimanganese center. The four-membered Mn₂Cl₂ metallacycle is nearly square. The distorted tetrahedral coordination about each metal consists of one C₅H₂^tBu₃ ('''Cp) ligand, two chlorides and one O-coordinated tetrahydrofuran (THF) ligand. There is also one disordered molecule of pentane in the unit cell.
