Abstract

The radical anions of (benzoylcyclopentadienyl)manganese tricarbonyl, (1-benzoyl-2-methylcyclopentadienyl)manganese tricarbonyl and (1-benzoyl-3-methylcyclopentadienyl)manganese tricarbonyl have been prepared by alkali metal and electrolytic reduction in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) or tetrahydrofuran (THF). The best ESR spectra are obtained by potassium reduction in DME. Each anion shows a major splitting from the 55Mn nucleus and smaller splittings from the p- and o-protons of the phenyl ring.
