Ad. Bond et al., The first observation of the [Cp3Mn](-) anion; structures of hexagonal [(eta(2)-Cp)(3)MnK center dot 1.5thf] and ion-separated [(eta(2)-Cp)(3)Mn](2)[Mg(thf)(6)]center dot 2thf, CHEM COMMUN, (19), 2001, pp. 1956-1957
Hexagonal [(eta (2)-Cp)(3)MnK .1.5thf] 1 and ion-separated [(eta (2)-Cp)(3)
Mn](2)[Mg(thf)(6)]. 2thf 2 are obtained from reactions of CpK and Cp2Mg, re
spectively, with manganocene, Cp2Mn; they are the first complexes to be str
ucturally characterised containing the [Cp3Mn](-) anion.
