Reaction of cyanamide and their derivatives with (η 5-C 5H 5)Mn(CO) 3 and (η 5-C 5H 4CH 3)Mn(CO) 3

Abstract

The reaction of cyanamide and its derivatives with the (η 5-C 5H 5)Mn(CO) 2(THF) and (η 5-C 5H 4CH 3)Mn(CO) 2(THF) complexes affords the cyanamide substituted complexes of types (η 5-C 5H 5)Mn(CO) 2(NCN(R′)(R″)) ( 2a– d) and (η 5-C 5H 4CH 3)Mn(CO) 2(NCN(R′)(R″)) ( 3a– e). All complexes were characterized by spectroscopy ( 1H, 13C NMR, IR), elemental and mass spectroscopy analysis. Complex 2b (η 5-C 5H 5)Mn(CO) 2(NCN(CH 3) 2) was additionally examined by single crystal X-ray structure determination.
