Synthesis and fluxional behaviour of cycloheptatrienylmanganesetricarbonyl and cycloheptatrienylirontricarbonyl cation
Abstract
The synthesis of h5-cycloheptatrienylmanganesetricarbonyl by low temperature photochemical decarbonylation of the acyl manganese species (2) is described, and the properties of this molecule are compared to those of the isoelectronic iron cation.
