Abstract

Laser flash photolysis of (CH3)2Sn[Mn(CO)5]2 [1] was studied in cyclohexane solution using 355 nm laser flash light for excitation. One transient having absorption maximum at 480 nm with a long life time (τ1/2-0.5 s) was observed. No evidence for Sn-Mn bond photoeleavage was observed. The effect of CO on the decay kinetics of the transient as well as no inhibiting effect of CCl4 for formation of Mn2(CO3)10[2] showed the non-radical mechanism for formation of [2] from [1].
