A mixed isocyanide Mn(<scp>i</scp>) complex and its reduction to a metallate
A stepwise ligand exchange starting from [Mn(CO)<sub>5</sub>Br] allows the synthesis of the heteroleptic isocyanide manganese(I) complex <i>mer</i>,<i>trans</i>-[Mn(CN<i>p</i>-FAr<sup>DArF2</sup>)<sub>3</sub>(CN<sup><i>t</i></sup>Bu)<sub>2</sub>Br] (DArF = 3,5-(CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>, <sup><i>t</i></sup>Bu = <i>tert</i>-butyl). Subsequent reduction gave the first heteroleptic isocyanide manganese(-1) complex, [K(18-crown-6)][Mn(CN<i>p</i>-FAr<sup>DArF2</sup>)<sub>3</sub>(CN<sup><i>t</i></sup>Bu)<sub>2</sub>], exhibiting a five-coordinate, trigonal bipyramidal coordination sphere.
