Abstract
Redox properties of binuclear Cp(CO)3MnRh(m-C=CHPh)(acac) complex were studied by electrochemical methods at platinum, glassed carbon and dropping mercury electrodes in acetonitrile. It was found that a reduction of the complex resulted in the formation of CpMn(CO)3 and rhodium Rh0 compounds whereas an oxidation gave CpMn(CO)3 and RhIII compounds.
