The title dimanganese complexes react with NO (5% in N2) at room temperature to give as major products the corresponding hexanitrosyl derivatives [Mn2(NO)6(μ-L2)] in moderate yields, and they react rapidly with NO2 to give the corresponding hydride derivatives [Mn2(μ-H)(μ-NO2)(CO) 6(μ-L2)], these having a nitrite ligand bridging the dimetal centre through the N and O atoms. The dppm-bridged dihydride also reacts selectively at 273 K with (PPN)NO2 to give first the nitro derivative (PPN)[Mn2(μ-H)(H)(NO2)(CO) 6(μ-dppm)], which then transforms into the nitrosyl complex (PPN)[Mn2(μ-CO)(CO)5(NO)(μ-dppm)] at room temperature or above (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2; PPN+ = [N(PPh3)2]+). The latter anion reacts with (NH4)PF6 to give the hydride-bridged nitrosyl complex [Mn2(μ-H)(μ-NO)(CO)6(μ-dppm)] and with [AuCl(PPh3)] to give the trinuclear cluster [AuMn 2(μ-NO)(CO)6(μ-dppm)(PPh3)] (Mn-Au = ca. 2.68 ; Mn-Mn = 2.879(2) ). Both products are derived from the addition of the added electrophile at the intermetallic bond and rearrangement of the nitrosyl ligand into a bridging position. In contrast, methylation of the anion with CF3SO3Me takes place at the nitrosyl ligand to yield the unstable methoxylimide derivative [Mn2(μ-NOMe)(CO) 6(μ-dppm)]. Analogous reactions at the nitrosyl ligand take place upon the addition of HBF4·OEt2 to the nitrosyl-bridged hydrides [Mn2(μ-H)(μ-NO)(CO) n(μ-dppm)m] (n = 6, m = 1; n = 4, m = 2) to give the corresponding hydroxylimide derivatives [Mn2(μ-H)(μ-NOH)(CO) n(μ-dppm)m]BF4, which were also thermally unstable and could not be isolated nor fully characterized.
