MnRe(CO)10: A review of the chemical and physical properties of a simple heterobimetallic non-bridged dimer

The rotational spectrum and theoretical study of a dinuclear complex, MnRe(CO)10

“…[11][12][13] One of the basic and useful building blocks for some of the heterodinuclear compounds is the MnRe͑CO͒ 10 complex. Coville and Leins 14 have compiled a comprehensive review on the chemical and physical properties of the manganese rhenium decacarbonyl complex.…”

A Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Study of the Structure and Electronic Spectroscopy of the Group 7 Mixed-Metal Carbonyls: MnTc(CO)10, MnRe(CO)10, and TcRe(CO)10

“…This is surprising, as the ground-state structures of these carbonyls have no bridging ligands and a bond between two different transition metal atoms. Reports relating to them in the literature are comparatively rare, with MnRe(CO) 10 the most studied of the three carbonyls, with synthesis, spectroscopy, and reactivity all investigated, in a review by Coville and Leins . Two recent papers have been published on the subject of the structure of MnRe(CO) 10 .…”

“…Reports relating to them in the literature are comparatively rare, with MnRe(CO) 10 the most studied of the three carbonyls, with synthesis, spectroscopy, and reactivity all investigated, in a review by Coville and Leins. 14 Two recent papers have been published on the subject of the structure of MnRe(CO) 10 . The first by Tanjaroon et al 15 reported the experimental rotational spectrum with a reported rotational constant of 200.55 MHz for the Re 185 isotopomer and 200.36 MHz for the Re 187 isotopomer using a highresolution pulsed beam microwave spectrometer with density functional (B3LYP and BP86) and ab initio calculations (SCF) used to determine the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants and electric field gradients.…”
