The reversible co-ordination of nitric oxide by the manganese(II) phosphine complexes, MnX2(PR3), in the solid state and in tetrahydrofuran solution

Abstract

The MnX₂(PR₃), (X = Cl, Br, I; R₃= Prⁿ₃, Buⁿ₃, PhMe₂, PhEt₂) complexes bind nitric oxide to form MnX₂(PR₃)(NO) in the Solid State and in tetrahydrofuran; the reaction is reversible, and the affinity for NO is both halide and phosphine dependent.
