diphenyl-2-pyrrolylphosphine in refluxing toluene
g) and diphenyl-3-pyrrolylphosphine (0.507 mmol) in
toluene (100 cm3) gave unreacted [Mn2(CO)10] (0.007 g)
and [Mn2(Ph2P-3-C4H3NH)(CO)9] as an orange solid
(0.077 g, 25%).
A solution of [Mn2(CO)10] (0.197 g) and Ph2P-2-
C4H3NH (0.136 g, 1 mol per mol of Mn2) in toluene (40
cm3) was heated under reflux under nitrogen for 8 h. By
monitoring the IR spectrum of the reacting solution
[Mn2(Ph2P-2-C4H3NH)(CO)9] was shown to be formed
as a major product after 1.5 h but this gave very weak
signals at the later stages of the reaction. Solvent was
removed under reduced pressure and TLC work-up of
the orange–brown residue [SiO2; eluent, hexane–
dichloromethane (5:3 v/v)] produced four bands yield-
3.3. Photochemical treatment of [Mn2(CO)10] with
diphenyl-2-pyrrolylphosphine
A solution of [Mn2(CO)10] (0.240 g) and Ph2P-2-
C4H3NH (0.161 g) in toluene (100 cm3) was treated
with UV irradiation for 20 h. The solvent was removed
from the orange solution under reduced pressure and
TLC or the residual orange solid [SiO2; eluent, hexane–
dichloromethane, 5:3 v/v] gave two bands, the first of
which was characterized as [Mn2(m-H)(m-PPh2)(CO)8] as
a yellow solid (0.168 g, 52%) (see above). The second
band gave [Mn2(m-H)(m-PPh2){Ph2P-2-C4H3NH}(CO)7]
as orange crystals (0.091 g, 20%) by evaporation of a
ing
unreacted
[Mn2(CO)10]

and
[Mn2(m-H)(m-PPh2)(CO)8] as a yellow solid (0.010 g,
4%) which was characterized by comparison of its
spectra with those reported [8]; Anal. Calc. for

FABMS (MNBA medium); NMR spectra are very
broad and data are not reported here.

pyrrolyl), 6.38 (m, H4, pyrrolyl). The final band gave
[Mn3(m3-P,N,h5-Ph2P-2-C4H3N)(CO)11] as a red micro-

FABMS (MNBA medium); 1H- and 13C-NMR data are
not reported because these were both very broad and
ill-defined.
diphenyl-2-pyrrolylphosphine at 190°C
A 20 cm3 Carius tube was charged with [Re2(CO)10]
(0.199 g, 0.305 mmol) and diphenyl-2-pyrrolylphos-
phine (0.077 g, 1 mol per mol Re2) in decane (5 cm3).
The mixture was degassed by three freeze-pump-thaw
cycles, sealed under vacuum and heated at 190°C for 24
h. The colourless suspension had become orange and
TLC work-up [SiO2; eluent, hexane–dichloromethane,
5:3 v/v] gave only one tractible product: [Re2(m-H)(m-
PPh2)(CO)8] as a very pale yellow solid (0.088 g, 37%)
by evaporation of a dichloromethane solution; w(CO)

3.2. Treatment of [Mn2(CO)10] with
diphenyl-3-pyrrolylphosphine in toluene
A solution of [Mn2(CO)10] (0.105 g, 0.270 mmol) and
diphenyl-3-pyrrolylphosphine (0.069 g, 1 mol per mol
Mn2) in refluxing toluene (40 cm3) gave a red–orange
suspension after 8 h which gave a dark orange solid on
removal of solvent. TLC work-up [SiO2; eluent, hex-
ane–dichloromethane (1:1 v/v)] gave three bands which
gave unreacted [Mn2(CO)10] (0.012 g) and [Mn2(m-H)(m-
PPh2)(CO)8] as a yellow solid (0.013 g, 9%). The third
band gave [Mn2(Ph2P-3-C4H3NH)(CO)9] as an orange
solid (0.031 g, 19%) by evaporation of a dichloro-
methane solution; Anal. Calc. for C25H14O9NPMn2: C,
