摘要:
The insertion of carbon dioxide into the Mn-O bond of fac-(CO)(3)(dppe)MnOCH3 (1) was observed to occur instantaneously at -78 degreesC by in situ infrared spectroscopy. The product of carboxylation of 1, fac-(CO)(3)(dppe)MnOC(O)OCH3 (2), underwent decarboxylation with a first-order rate constant of 1.49 x 10(-4) s(-1) at 23 degreesC. The kinetic parameters for this process were determined by trapping the intermediate produced upon CO2 extrusion, complex 1, with COS to provide the very stable fac-(CO)(3)(dppe)MnSC(O)OCH3 (3) derivative. The structure of 3 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, establishing the presence of the Mn-S bond.
