Decarbonylation of [Mn2HBr(CO)5(dppm)2](dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) using Me3No and treatment of the resultant tetracarbonyl derivative in tetrahydrofuran with LiAlH4 gives deep purple crystals of the formally unsaturated compound [Mn2H2(CO)4(dppm)2]which inserts MeCHO or MeNC to give µ-EtO or µ-MeN![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
CH complexes and reacts with certain orher ligands such as CO or P(OMe)3 with displacement of H2.
