Abstract :
The centrosymmetric title complex, [μ-ethane-1,2-diylbis(diphenylphosphane)-κ2P:P′]bis[pentacarbonyltungsten(0)], [W2(C26H24P2)(CO)10], consists of two W(CO)5 moieties bridged by a bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane (dppe) ligand. The W0 atom has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment consisting of 5 carbonyl ligands and one P atom from the bridging dppe ligand with the nearest W0 atom 5.625 (5) Å away. The complex resides on a center of symmetry.
