Abstract

The syntheses are reported of new cyclomanganated indole derivatives (1-acetyl-κO-indolyl- κC2) dicarbonylbis (trimethylphosphite) manganese (2),(1-methyl-3-acetyl-κO-indolyl-κC2) tetracarbonylmanganese (4),(3-formyl-κO-indolyl-κC2) tetracarbonylmanganese (5a) and (1- methyl-3-formyl-κO-indolyl-κC2) tetracarbonylmanganese (5b). The unusually complicated crystal structure of 5b has been determined, the first for a cyclomanganated aryl aldehyde. ...
