Selectivities to various isomers are more difficult to predict when metal oxides are used as catalysts. ZnO preferentially produced 79% 1-butene and several percent of i7j -2-butene [624-64-6] (75). CdO catalyst produced 55% 1-butene and 45% i7j -2-butene. It was also reported that while interconversion between 1-butene and i7j -2-butene was quite facile on CdO, cis—trans isomeri2ation was slow. This was attributed to the presence of a TT-aHyl anion intermediate (76). High i7j -2-butene selectivities were obtained with molybdenum carbonyl encapsulated in 2eohtes (77). On the other hand, deuteration using H1O2 catalyst produced predominantly the 1,4-addition product, trans-2-huX.en.e-d2 with no isotope scrambling (78). 

In a similar manner, Jt-allyl complexes of manganese, iron, and molybdenum carbonyls have been obtained from the corresponding metal carbonyl halides [5], In the case of the reaction of dicarbonyl(r 5-cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum bromide with allyl bromide, the c-allyl derivative is obtained in 75% yield in dichloromethane, but the Jt-allyl complex is the sole product (95%), when the reaction is conducted in a watenbenzene two-phase system. Similar solvent effects are observed in the corresponding reaction of the iron compound. As with the cobalt tetracarbonyl anion, it is... 

Molybdenum hexacarbonyl also forms carbonylate anions, Mo(CO)5 , carbonyl halide anions, Mo(CO)5 " and carbonyl hydride anions, Mo(CO)5H in solution under controlled conditions. These species are unstable and have not been isolated. 

The addition of Mo(CO)3 fragments to iron carbonyl anions has also been used to synthesize iron-molybdenum-sulfur compounds. Thus, the reaction between... 

Various metal-metal single o-bonded complexes have been obtained by the reaction of metal carbonyls with metal-carbon o-bonded porphyrins or by the reaction of metal carbonyl anions and chlorometalloporphyrins (Scheme 14). For example, the reaction of dimanganese carbonyl and methyl indium(III) porphyrin gives manganese pen-tacarbonyl indium porphyrin In(Por)Mn(CO)5. The same compound is isolated when chloroindium porphyrin is allowed to react with the manganese pentacarbonyl monoanion. Various iron, cobalt, tungsten, and molybdenum complexes have been prepared by these two methods. 

The hexacarbonyls of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten react with a variety of Lewis bases to form very stable also hexacoordinate substitution products. If the Lewis base is anionic a metal carbonyl anion will result as discussed above.
