Crystals of the mixed halogen complex, fac ‐(bromo/chloro)tricarbonyl[1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]manganese(I), fac ‐[MnBr 0.3 Cl 0.7 (C 30 H 26 O 3 P 2 )(CO) 3 ], were obtained from a prolonged recrystallization attempt of [MnBr{Ph 2 P(CH 2 ) 3 PPh 2 }(CO) 3 ] from CHCl 3 /hexane solution at 263 K. Common coordinates are found for all but the halogen atoms in the disordered structure, but the Mn— X vectors differ by 3.5 (5)° and the M — X bond lengths differ by 0.10 (1) Å.
