Manganese spectroscopic terms

The spectroscopic and kinetic data from this reaction indicated the existence of a long sought catalytic reaction topology, bimetallic catalytic binuclear elimination. The kinetic data provided a linear-bilinear form in organometallics [95]. One term represented the classic unicyclic rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation and the other represented the attack of manganese hydride carbonyl on an acyl rhodium tetracarbonyl species. A representation of the interconnected topology is shown in Figure 4.12.
