Nitrosyl transfer from manganese to iron in tropocoronand complexes
A nitrosyl transfer reaction is described in which the NO ligand from [Mn(NO)(TC-5,5)] quantitatively transfers to [Fe(TC-5,5)] to form [Fe(NO)(TC-5,5)]. The reaction was monitored by in situ IR spectroscopy to reveal data consistent with NO dissociation from Mn prior to interaction with Fe. [GRAPHICS]
