The reaction of PPh 2 Cl with orthomanganated acetophenone, 2′‐CH 3 C(O)C 6 H 4 Mn(CO) 4 , gives Mn 2 (μ‐η 1 ,η 1 ‐Ph 2 PPPh 2 )(μ‐Cl) 2 (CO) 6 . An X‐ray structure determination [triclinic, space group P 1 , a = 10.908(4) Å, b = 11.756(3) Å, c = 12.186(3) Å, α = 96.20(2)°, β = 99.51(2)°, γ = 96.52(2)°] shows two Mn(CO) 3 groups held together by two bridging Cl ligands, and further bridged by a Ph 2 PPPh 2 group prepared in situ .
