Introduction
The NH‚‚‚S hydrogen bond which arguably plays a major
role in determining the redox potential and the electronic
structure of biologically important metalloproteins and metal-
loenzymes (e.g., iron-sulfur proteins, ferredoxins, and rubre-
doxins)1 has been observed in biomimetic structural model
complexes.2
Recent work in this laboratory has shown that the anionic
metal carbonyl fragments ([Mn(CO)5]- and [PhEFe(CO)4]- (E
) Se, Te)) activate the E-E bond of diorganyl dichalcogenides
to yield cis-[Mn(CO)4(ER)2]- and fac-[Fe(CO)3(EPh)3]- com-
plexes which are useful in the syntheses of (CO)4Mn(µ-ER)2Co-
(CO)(µ-ER)3Mn(CO)3 with a unique terminal CoIII-CO bond,3
[(CO)3M(µ-SePh)3M′(µ-SePh)3M(CO)3]-/0 (M ) Mn, M′ ) Co;
M ) Fe, M′ ) Ni, Zn, Cd, Fe) with homoleptic hexaseleno-
latometal core,4 and distorted square planar [Ni(CO)(SPh)n-
(SePh)3-n]- (n ) 0, 1, 2),5 the biomimetic nickel-site structure
of [NiFeSe] hydrogenases and CO dehydrogenase. In this paper
we combine the dichalcogen synthetic technology with the
potential for intramolecular H-bonding to synthesize five-
coordinate sixteen-electron Mn(I) complex [Mn(CO)3(S-C6H4-
NH)]- stabilized by S,N π-donation of bidentate [S-C6H4-
NH]2- ligand. To our knowledge, a few examples of transition-
metal carbonyl complexes containing five-coordinate sixteen-
electron metal core (d6) have been reported,6,7 e.g. [Mn(CO)3-
(DBCat)]- prepared by oxidative substitution of two CO ligands
of [Mn(CO)5]- by 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone,6a and
[W(CO)3(NHC6H4NH)]2- prepared from W(CO)5(THF) and 2
equiv of monodeprotonated ligands [NHC6H4NH2]- by inter-
molecular deprotonation.7c

Results and Discussion
When a THF solution of 2-aminophenyl disulfide (0.1 mmol,
0.025 g) and [PPN][Mn(CO)5] (0.1 mmol, 0.073 g) is stirred
under N2, a rapid reaction ensues over the course of 5 min at
ambient temperature to give, by what may be described as an
oxidative addition/decarbonylation reaction, a thermally un-
stable, monodentate (S-bonded) cis-[Mn(CO)4(S-C6H4NH2)2]-
(1) (Scheme 1a), since the IR spectra match those of complex
cis-[Mn(CO)4(SPh)2]- previously established (by IR and X-ray
diffraction).3,8 As illustrated in Scheme 1b,c, the dark red, five-
