Tetracarbonyl[bis(diphenylphosphanyl)-tetramethyldisiloxane- κ 2 P,P′]chromium(0)

Abstract

The title compound, [Cr(C 28H 32OP 2Si 2)(CO) 4], was obtained by the ligand-exchange reaction of Cr(CO) 6 with (Ph 2PSiMe 2) 2O in refluxing toluene. The CrC 4P 2 coordination geometry is distorted octa-hedral, with a P - Cr - P bite angle of 99.22 (4)°.
