Abstract

The substitution of triphenylphosphine for CO on cationic and anionic complexes significantly slows single electron transfer reactions (SET) but has a relatively small effect on CO2 +transfer. This allows the products of COz+reactions to be readily identified before subsequent SET reactions can occur. In this manuscript the reactions of the bis-substituted complexes, Mn(CO)4(PPh3)2 +and Mn(CO)3(PPh3)2“, are reported. When the cation is reacted with a metal carbonyl anion that is more nucleophilic than Mn(CO)3(PPh3)2“, a CO2+transfer occurs; a less nucleophilic anion results in SET. Single electron transfer reactions of triphenylphosphine complexes are characterized by formation of hydride products. Transfer of CO2+leads to new cation and anion products.
