The molecule (η5-Me2Pdl)Mn(CO)3 (η5-Me2Pdl = 2,4-dimethyl-η5-pentadienyl) has been prepared by a new method and used as a starting material to prepare the molecules (η5-Me2Pdl)Mn(CO) n (PMe3)3–n (n = 2, 1) by phosphine substitution for carbonyls. The first carbonyl substitution is achieved thermally...
