Abstract
Photochemical reaction of MeCpMn(CO)3 with (Ph2PC5H4)2Fe, (dppfe), was conducted in benzene. From the reaction mixture, the title compound [Mn(CO)(MeCp)(dppfe)] was isolated and its molecular structure was solved by X-ray analysis. ν(CO) peak at 1810 cm−1 of the title compound was clarified to be originated from the terminal carbonyl. Temperature-dependent 1H NMR spectra were also measured for the title compound.
