N2  - A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction study carried out on a product of a sunlight induced reaction between [Cp2Rh2(CO)(CF3C2CF3)] and [(Cp&#8242;) Mn (CO)2( thf )] in 2:1 ratio in hydrocarbon solution establishes it to be tetranuclear [(Cp4Rh4)(CF3C=CHCF3)2(CH3-C5H3)]; crystals of the latter are triclinic, P&#299; , a 15.803(9), b 13.445(8), c 8.966(6) &#506;, &#945; 75.92(5), &#946; 80.68(5), &#947; 65.46(4)&#176;, Z = 2. Full-matrix refinement for 3431 'observed' [I > 3&#963;(I)], absorption-corrected data converged at R 0.056. The structure comprises a pair of enantiomeric [(Cp2Rh2)(CF3C=CHCF3 binuclear units unsymmetrically linked by the central CH3C5H3 ring, by way of the &#951;1,&#951;2-C=CH and &#951;1,&#951;2-C= CMe functionalities.
