Acetonitrilecarbonyl and acetonitrilenitrosyl metal cations from the reactions of the nitrosonium ion, NO+, with transition-metal organometallics in acetonitrile
Abstract
The reactions of NOPF6 in acetonitrile with (π-PhMe)Cr(CO)3 and M2(CO)10(M = Mn and Re) lead to the formation of [Cr(NO)2(MeCN)4][PF6]2 and [M(CO)5(MeCN)][PF6], respectively, which are valuable new organometallic reagents as exemplified by a variety of reactions.
