Effects of the Nature of Transition Metal on the Composition and Structure of Reaction Products of M[(OOCC5H4)Mn(CO)3]2[O(H)Me]4 (М = Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), or Mn(II)) with 1,10-Phenanthroline

Abstract

Reactions of M[(OOCC₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃]₂[O(H)Me]₄ (M = Ni(II), Co(II), or Mn(II)) adducts with 1,10-phenanthroline in chloroform at room temperature are found to yield complexes Phen_nM[(OOCC₅H₄) Mn(CO)₃]₂ (Co(II) or Mn(II), n = 2; M = Ni(II), n = 3). A similar reaction of dimeric Cu₂[μ-(OOCC₅H₄) Mn(CO)₃]₄[O(H)Me]₂ yields mononuclear PhenCu[(OOCC₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃][O(H)Me] · MeOH. The resulting complexes are isolated in high yields and characterized by chemical analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography.
