Synthesis of the unsymmetrical tricarbonylalkoxymanganese trimers and X-ray crystal structure of dimethylphenylphosphineoctacarbonyl-triethoxytrimanganese
Abstract
The synthesis of the trimeric tricarbonyl-alkoxymanganese trimers [{ROMn(CO)3}3] is reported; these complexes have two face-bridging alkoxy groups and a single edge-bridging alkoxy group, together with a scalene triangle of manganese atoms, which appears to contain only one manganese–manganese bond.
