5.07 Cyclic and Non-Cyclic Pi Complexes of Manganese

This chapter reviews organometallic π complexes of manganese reported between 2005 and 2020, with a focus on their synthesis, structures, and reactivity. Acyclic π ligands in this review include alkene, alkyne, allene, ketene, quinone, butadiene, allyl, benzyl, propargyl, and pentadienyl ligands, as well as heteroatom-containing analogues. Cyclic π ligands include cyclopentadienyl and arene ligands, as well as related polycyclic and …
