Fac -to- mer isomerization triggers hydride transfer from Mn( i ) complex fac -[(dppm)Mn(CO) 3 H]
Abstract
Low-temperature IR and NMR studies combined with DFT calculations revealed the mechanistic complexity of apparently simple reactions between Mn(I) complex fac-[(dppm)Mn(CO)3H] and Lewis acids (LA = Ph3C+, B(C6F5)3) involving the formation of so-far elusive meridional hydride species mer-[(dppm)Mn(CO)3H⋯LA] and unusual dearomatization of the Ph3C+ cation upon hydride transfer.
