Synthesis and characterization of novel 17 electron species of manganese with stable metal–alkyl bonds
Abstract
The new 17 electron complexes, (η5-C5H4Me)Mn(NO)R2, R = Me, Et, Pr, prepared by alkylation of (η5-C5H4Me)Mn(NO)(PPh3)I, are stable in the absence of oxygen and have been characterized by their 1H n.m.r. and e.s.r. spectra.
