2P,P']tetracarbonylchromium(0)In the title compound, [Cr(C29H30P2)(CO)4], the Cr atom is octahedrally coordinated by four carbonyl ligands and one bidentate phosphine ligand, which is bounded as a chelate in a cis position. The average Cr-P and Cr-C bond lengths are 2.377 and 1.865 Å, respectively.
A mixture of Cr(CO)6 (1.064 mmol) and Ph2P(CH3)CH(CH2)CH(CH3)PPh2 (1.065 mmol) was refluxed in a purified mixture of petroleum ether (60–80 °C, 25 ml) and butanol (20 ml) for ca 12 h under nitrogen atmosphere. The solvent was evaporated and the crude product was dissolved in acetone (5 ml) and filtered. Yellow crystals (75% yield) were obtained by slow evaporation of the acetone solution at room temperature. Analysis calculated for C33H30CrO4P2: C 65.55, H 5.01%; found C 65.54, H 5.00%.
All H atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.98Å, C—H= 0.97 Å (methylene) and C—H= 0.96 Å (methyl) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, aromatic, methylene) and Uiso(H)=1.5Uequ(C methyl). A rotating group model was used for the methyl group. The number of Friedel pairs are 3260.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

It is generally believed that the metal (M) to carbon monoxide bond involves both OC—M σ-bonding and M—CO π-bonding. In view of this phenomenon, the bonding characteristics of metal carbonyls with a phosphine ligand in phosphine-substituted metal carbonyls are of interest. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.29; Allen, 2002) revealed only 88 complexes of group VI metal carbonyls with a 3-carbon backbone bidentate phosphine. However, there are only a few examples of chromium carbonyl complexes (Shawkataly et al., 2006). Previously, we reported several crystal structures of phosphine-substituted group VI metal carbonyls (Shawkataly et al., 1996,1997). We present here the crystal structure of the title compound.
The title compound has an expected octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). The Cr—C bond lengths of the cis carbonyl ligands (with respect to the P atom) are slightly longer than those for the trans carbonyl group (Table 1). This trend was also observed in Cr[Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2](CO)4 (Bennett et al., 1971) and Cr[Ph2P(CH2)4PPh2](CO)4 (Ueng & Shih, 1992). The bidentate phosphine bite angle [91.389 (18)°] is intermediate between that observed in Cr[Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2](CO)4 (83.41 (8)°] and that in Cr[Ph2P(CH2)4PPh2](CO)4 (93.29 (5)°]. Comparison of the mean Cr—C and C—O distances in the title compound [1.872 (2) and 1.145 (6) Å, respectively] with those in Cr(CO)6 [1.909 (3) and 1.137 (4) Å, respectively (Whitaker & Jeffery, 1967); and 1.918 (2) and 1.141 (2) Å, respectively (Jost et al., 1975)], indicates stronger bonding owing to the back-bondi ng abilities of the bidentate phosphine. The Cr—P bond lengths, with an average values of 2.3792 (5) Å, are relatively short inspite of the presence of the bulky phosphine ligand.
