The title complexes, heptacarbonyl-1 kappa(4)C,2 kappa 3C-mu-(dimethyl but-
2-ynedioato)-1:2 kappa(2)C(2), 1:2 kappa(2)C(3)-cobaltmanganese(Mn-Co), [Mn
Co(C6H6O4)(CO)(7)], (5), and heptacarbonyl-1 kappa(4)C, 2 kappa(3)C-mu-(met
hyl but-2-ynoato)1:2 kappa(2)C(2),1:2 kappa(2)C(3)-cobaltmanganese(Mn-Co),
[MnCo(C5H6O2)(CO)(7)], (6), were synthesized from MnCo(CO)(9) and the corre
sponding alkyne. The Mn-Co bond length is 2.5527(5) Angstrom for (5) and 2.
5468(4) Angstrom for (6). The alkyne C-C bond is perpendicular to the Mn-Co
bond.
