Abstract
The structure of the vinylidene cluster [eta (2)-Ph2P(CH2)(3)PPh2] PdFe3(mu (4)-C=CHPh)(CO)(9) was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. The meta l core of the molecule has a butterfly shape with the Pd atom occupying a w ingtip position. The C(1)=C(2)HPh ligand is sigma -bound to three atoms of the Fe2Pd triangle through the C(l) atom and is eta (2)-coordinated to the Fe atom located in the second wingtip position via the C(1)=C(2) double bon d. The Pd atom is chelated by the diphosphine ligand.
