Carbonyl and Related Complexes

Cyclopentadienyl Carbonyl and Related Complexes.—Successive attack of CHs and CH3+ on [CpMn(CO)2(N2 ] yields the azomethane complex [CpMn(CO 2 N-(Me)=NMe ], which can also be synthesized by oxidation of [CpMn(CO)2 MeN-(H)NHMe ]. Similar nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks on the dinitrogen complex using Ph and H+ gives [CpMn(CO)a N(Ph)=NH ]. The pyrrolyl nitrogen atom of [( -C4H4N)Mn(CO)3] acts as a donor in the formation of the complexes [(OC)3Mn( -C4H4N)M(CO)2Cp] (M = Mn or Re).i The adducts RsP.CSa (R=Bu or Cy) have been assessed as reagents for the preparation of thiocarbonyl complexes. Unfortunately reactions such as [CpMn(CO)2(as-cyclo-octene)] with R3P,CSa lead mainly to [CpMn(CO)2(PR3)] with very low yields of [CpMn(CO)2(CS)].i
