The reaction of the carbonyl anion Mn(CO)₅ ^- or Co(CO)₄^- with Fe(CO)₅ produces the new anion FeMn(CO)₉^- or FeCo(CO)₈^-. The reaction of the carbonyl anions M₂(CO)₁₀^2- (M = Cr or W) with either Co₂(CO)₈ or Mn₂(CO)₁₀ produces the mixed-metal dinuclear anion MCo(CO)₉^- or MMn(CO)₁₀^-. Some reactions of the anion Fe₂(CO)₈^2- are also discussed.
