Popis: Three bimetallic anionic complexes, (2) lithium + dimanganese nonacarbonyl formyl/sup -/, (3) lithium + rhenium manganese nonacarbonyl formyl/sup -/, and (4) lithium + cisdirhenium nonacarbonyl formyl, are prepared by the reaction of lithium triethylboron hydride with the corresponding neutral metal carbonyl dimers, dimanganese decacarbonyl and manganese rhenium decarbonyl. 2 has a half-life of ca 8 min at room temperature, 4 is stable for days and is easily isolated as a tetrahydrofuran solvate. When 2 - 4 are treated with electrophiles such as benzaldehyde, iron pentacarbonyl, n-octyl iodide, hydride transfer occurs to produce benzyl alcohol, lithium + iron tetracarbonyl formyl/sup -/ complex, and octane, respectively. 3 is the weakest hydride donor. Reaction of 4 with methyl iodide produces ca 52% methane. The only identifiable product from the pyrolysis of 4 is dirhenium decacarbonyl; photolysis of 4 produces lithium + dirhenium nonacarbonyl hydride. 1 figure.
