Abstract

MP2 and CAS SCF calculations for CO insertion reactions of the type RMCO → M(COR), R = H, CH 3; M = Mn, Pd + are reported. Non-dynamical correlation appears to be quite important, involving essentially the metal-carbon π bond in the Mn(I) systems and the metal-carbon and metal-hydrogen σ bonds in the Pd(II) systems.
