Abstract
Accurate X-ray data for [Cr(CO)5(XPh3)](X = As, Sb, or Bi) when compared with data for [Cr(CO)5PPh3] show significant variations in C–X–C and Cr–X–C bond angles as well as in Cr–X distances consistent with increasing s-orbital participation in Cr–X bonding down the series X = P ⩽ X = As < X = Sb < X = Bi.Keywords
