A convenient one-step synthesis for [Mn(CO)6]+ salts has been developed. The method involves the one-electron oxidation of Mn 2(CO)10 by protons in solutions of Lewis acids (BF 3, (CF3)3BCO) and anhydrous HF. The molecular structure of [Mn(CO)6][BF4]·SO2 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data: orthorhombic, space group Cmc21, a = 8.7001(2) A, b = 11.8497(3) A, and c = 11.7437(3) A; Z = 4; R1 = 0.0320 and wR2 = 0.1106. The structural, NMR, and vibrational spectroscopic properties of [Mn(CO)6] + fit perfectly with those of the isoelectronic species (V(CO) 6]_, Cr(CO)6, and [Fe(CO)6] 2+.
