X. Ren et Aj. Rest, PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF METHANESULPHINATOPENTACARBONYLMANGANESE, MN(CO)5(SO2CH3), IN FROZEN GAS MATRICES AT CA 12-K, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 458(1-2), 1993, pp. 30000005-30000007
Infrared spectroscopic evidence is presented which shows that photolys
is of the S-sulphinato complex, Mn(CO)5(S-SO2CH3), in argon, methane,
dinitrogen and carbon monoxide matrices at ca. 12 K produces first the
O-sulphinato complex, Mn(CO)5(O-SO2CH3), which on further photolysis
is converted into the O,O'-sulphinato complex, Mn(CO)4(O,O'-SO2CH3) wi
th ejection of a CO ligand. Annealing the matrices to ca. 35 K results
in reversal of the O,O'-sulphinato complex to the parent S-sulphinato
complex.
