Y. Ortin et al., Dynamic equilibration of eta(1)-carbene and eta(2)-alkyne moieties within an alkynylcarbene dimanganese complex, CHEM COMMUN, (17), 2001, pp. 1690-1691
The coordination of an additional [CP(CO)(2)Mn] fragment to the alkyne link
age of an alkynylcarbene complex of the type CP(CO)(2)Mn-C(R')C=CR" yields
a highly fluxional molecule, in which the [eta (1)-carbene] and [eta (2)-al
kyne] moieties are seen to exchange rapidly on the NMR time scale.
