“…The irreversible reduction is typical of complexes Cp(CO) 2 MnM(-C CHPh)(LL ) (37,(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57), where L, L = PPh 3 , P(OR) 3 , CO. More stable Cp(CO) 2 MnM(-C CHPh)(P-P) (P-P = dppe, dppp) (59, 60, 64, 65) are reduced reversibly. The reduction of Cp(CO) 2 MnPt(-C CHPh)(dppm) (58) is quasi-reversible and proceeds more easily (−2.37 V) than Cp(CO) 2 MnPt(-C CHPh)(P-P) (P-P = dppe (59), dppp (60)) (−2.54 V) [137].…”
