Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)86753-4

The results of a study of the reactions of HCo(CO)4 and HMn(CO)5 with a variety of substituted cyclopropenes are consistent with the formation of intermediate caged radical pairs; recombination in the cage of the radical pair leads to hydroformylation, an
