Manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and hydroelementation reactions

Designing for a green chemistry future

Reduction of the heterobimetallic .mu.-.eta.1(C):.eta.2(O,O')-CO2 complex Cp(CO)2Ru(CO2)Zr(Cl)Cp2 to its .mu.-.eta.1(C):.eta.1(O)-formaldehyde derivative Cp(CO)2Ru(CH2O)Zr(Cl)Cp2: hydride transfer occurs at ligated carbon monoxide

Heterobimetallic .mu.(.eta.1-C:.eta.2-O,O') carbon dioxide and .mu.(.eta.1-C,O) formaldehyde complexes Cp(NO)(CO)Re[C(O)O]Zr(Cl)Cp2 and Cp(NO)(CO)Re[CH2O]Zr(Cl)Cp2
