Pentacarbonylhydridomanganese is an organometallic compound with formula HMn(CO)5. This compound is one of the most stable "first-row" transition metal hydrides.
Preparation
It was first reported in 1931.[2] Of the several ways to produce this compound,[3] is the protonation of the pentacarbonyl manganate anion. The latter is formed from reduction of dimanganese decacarbonyl (Mn(CO)5)2. The reaction is shown below.
- LiHB(C2H5)3 (Superhydride) + ½Mn2(CO)10 → Li[Mn(CO)5] + ½H2 + (C2H5)3B
- Li[Mn(CO)5] + CF3SO3H → HMn(CO)5 + Li+
CF3SO3−
Salts of [Mn(CO)5]−
can be isolated as crystalline PPN+
(μ-nitrido—bis-(triphenylphosphorus)) salt, which is smoothly protonated by CF3SO3H.[3]
- PPN[Mn(CO)5] + CF3SO3H → HMn(CO)5 + PPN+
CF3SO3−
This compound can also be formed by the reaction of a solution of pentacarbonyl(trimethylsilyl)manganese with water.[4] The reaction is shown below.
- 2(CO)5MnSiMe3 + H2O → HMn(CO)5 + Me3SiOSiMe3
Structure and Properties
The compound has octahedral symmetry [5] and its molecular point group is C4v.[6] The H-Mn bond length is 1.44 ± 0.03 Å.[6] A gas phase electron diffraction study confirms this data.
The structure of HMn(CO)5 has been studied by many methods including X-Ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and electron diffraction.[6] HMn(CO)5 can be related to the structure of a hexacarbonyl complex such as Mn(CO)+
6, and therefore has the following similar properties.[7] The occupied molecular orbitals on the top are the 2 t2g orbitals. They are characterized as metal 3dπ orbitals. Since the antibonding 2π orbitals interact with the carbonyl groups, (or in this case, H−
) the t2g orbital is stabilized compared to the 3dπ orbital, which in turn will cause changes in the sigma and pi interactions.
Main Reactions
The pKa of HMn(CO)5 is 15.1.[8] It is thus comparable to hydrogen sulfide, a common inorganic acid, in its acidity.
A common reaction involving the HMn(CO)5 species is substitution of the CO ligands by organophosphines, as occurs both thermally and photochemically.[9] In this way the following derivatives form MnH(CO)3P2, MnH(CO)2P3, and MnH(CO)P4, (where P = P(OEt)3, PPh(OEt)2, PPh2OEt, PPh(OiPr)2.
The compound HMn(CO)5 can be used to reduce olefins and other organic compounds, as well as metal halides.[3]
Carbonyl ligands are substituted in this complex with the appropriate phosphite, resulting in the complexes shown above.
This compound can be methylated with diazomethane.[1]
