Abstract

A new class of organomanganese hydrogenation catalysts was recently rediscovered. These are simple dinuclear Mn(I) carbonyl compounds with phosphido (PR2-) and hydrido (H-) bridges. This class of compounds has been known since the 1960's, and they have rich coordination chemistry and reactivity. Given their recently discovered potential for catalytic applications, a fresh look at this class of compounds was necessary. Hence, this review comprehensively covers the synthesis, reactivity, and catalysis of this interesting class of molecules.
