The synthesis of [(eta(6)-Flu*H)Mn(CO)(3)]PF6, and its deprotonation to yield a novel coordination mode of fluorene

The synthesis of [(η6-Flu*H)Mn(CO)3]PF6 is reported. The complex may be deprotonated to give a neutral zwitterionic complex. Instead of deprotonation at the 9-position, as seen in the non-methylated complex, deprotonation of a ring methyl is observed. This yields a previously unknown coordination mo...

Sumario:The synthesis of [(η6-Flu*H)Mn(CO)3]PF6 is reported. The complex may be deprotonated to give a neutral zwitterionic complex. Instead of deprotonation at the 9-position, as seen in the non-methylated complex, deprotonation of a ring methyl is observed. This yields a previously unknown coordination mode of fluorene, and may be explained on both electronic and steric grounds. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
