Abstract
Abstract 1,3-Diacetylbenzene reacts with PhCH2Mn(CO)5 in refluxing heptane to give the mono- and di-cyclomanganated complexes η2-(2,4-diacetylphenyl)tetracarbonylmanganese (1) and η2,η2-4,6-di-acetylbenzene-1,3-bis(tetracarbonylmanganese) (2). Corresponding cyclomanganated compounds are also formed by 1,4-diacetylbenzene. Infrared studies and a crystal structure determination of 2, indicate little interaction between the two manganese groups attached to the same ring.
