  • 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.
