The crystal and molecular structures of bis (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) manganese (ll) and-lron (ll) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal packing of the two compounds is closely related and highly ordered, allowing a detailed comparison of structural parameters. Both metallocenes contain planar, staggered MejCp rings. The ferro-cene corresponds to a molecular symmetry of Ds¡ t with average Fe-C and CC distances of 2.050 (2) and 1.419 (2) Á, respec-tively. The low-spin manganocene has an orbitally degenerate 2E2g ground state in Dsymmetry. This degeneracy is relieved in the solid state by (1) a distortion of the Cp rings in which CC ring distances range from 1.409 (2) to 1.434 (2) Á and (2) a small slippage of the top and bottom halves of the metallocene “sandwich” to give Mn-C bond lengths which range from 2.105 (2) to 2.118 (2) Á. In both structures themethyl groups bend away from the metal atom 0.06 Á from the Cp rings. Or-ange crystals of (CstCF^ EEMn conform to the space group C2/c with a= 15.143 (4) Á, b= 12.248 (3) Á, c= 9.910 (3) Á, and ß= 93.56 (3). For 2581 independent reflections with F02> 3a (F02), R= 3.6%, Rw= 5.0%. Orangecrystals of (C5 (CH3) 5) 2Fe conform to the space group Cmca with a= 15.210 (3), b= 11.887 (2), and c= 9.968 (2) Á. For 1217 independent reflections with F02> 2n (F02), R= 3.9% and Rw= 5.5%. Both structures have four molecules per unit cell with C,(Mn) and Cih (Fe) crystallographic site symmetry, respectively.
