Many other nucleophilic anionic organometallic complexes have been studied, and the relative nucleophilicities of various carbonyl anions have been reported. Parallels between these anions and anions of main group elements will be discussed in Chapter 15. [Pg.528]

Chemical similarities occur between main group and transition metal species that are electronically equivalent (i.e., species that require the same number of electrons to achieve a filled valence configuration).28 For example, a halogen atom, one electron short of a valence shell octet, may be considered electronically equivalent to Mn(CO)5, a 17-electron species one electron short of an 18-electron configuration. In this section we discuss briefly some parallels between main group atoms and ions and electronically equivalent binary carbonyl complexes. [Pg.96]
