Abstract

The chiral, racemic, arene phosphonate complex, [tη6-1,2-C6H4(OCH3t)(P(O)(OCH2CH3t)2)t] Cr(CO)3 (1), was prepared via the reaction of 1,2-C6H4(OCH3)(P(O)(OCH2CH3)2) with Cr(CO)6 in refluxing dioxane/THF. The title complex crystallized in P1 with the cell dimensions: a = 8.4893(4) Å, b = 11.0638(9) Å, c = 11.2135(8) Å, and α = 62.151(8)○, β = 105.154(5)○, γ = 112.426(6)○, giving a volume of 856.34(10) Å3. The conformation of 1 is described as eclipsed (E) in which the methoxy substituent eclipses a carbonyl ligand of the tripod, and the phosphonate substituent is staggered.
