Crystal structure of penta­carbon­yl(2,2-di­fluoro­propane­thio­ato-κS)manganese(I)

The title compound, [Mn{SC(O)CF(2)CH(3)}(CO)(5)], has been isolated as a by-product during the reaction of K[Mn(CO)(5)] with CH(3)CF(2)COCl. It is built up from a di­fluoro­methyl­propane­thio­ate bonded to an Mn(CO)(5) moiety through the S atom. The Mn atom has an almost perfect octa­hedral coordination sphere. It is one of the rare examples of compounds containing the (CO)(5)MnS—C fragment. In the crystal, the methyl group occupies a pocket surrounded by the O atoms of three carbonyl groups of the Mn(CO)(5) moiety; however, the H⋯O distances are rather long. These inter­actions lead to the formation of layers lying parallel to (101), which enclose R (4) (4)(15) and R (4) (4)(16) ring motifs. The CF(2) group is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.849 (3) and 0.151 (3).
