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, e.g., with superhydride:

2 LiHB(C2H5)3 + Mn2(CO)10 → 2 LiMn(CO)5 + H2 + 2 B(C2H5)3
Li[Mn(CO)5] + CF3SO3H → HMn(CO)5 + CF3SO3Li

Salts of [Mn(CO)
5]−
 can be isolated as crystalline PPN+
 (μ-nitrido—bis-(triphenylphosphorus)) salt, which is smoothly protonated by CF
3SO
3H.[3]

PPN[Mn(CO)
5] + CF
3SO
3H → HMn(CO)5 + PPN+
CF
3SO−
3

This compound can also be formed by the hydrolysis of pentacarbonyl(trimethylsilyl)manganese:[4]

(CO)5MnSiMe3 + H2O → HMn(CO)5 + Me3SiOH (Me = CH3)

Structure and properties

The structure of HMn(CO)5 has been studied by many methods including X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and electron diffraction.[5] HMn(CO)5 can be related to the structure of a hexacarbonyl complex such as Mn(CO)+
6, and therefore has similar properties.[6] The compound has octahedral symmetry[7] and its molecular point group is C4v.[5] The H-Mn bond length is 1.44 ± 0.03 Å.[5] Gas phase electron diffraction analysis confirms these conclusions.

Main reactions

The pKa of HMn(CO)5 in water is 7.1.[8] It is thus comparable to hydrogen sulfide, a common inorganic acid, in its acidity.

A common reaction involving HMn(CO)5 is substitution of the CO ligands by organophosphines, as occurs both thermally and photochemically. In this way the many derivatives form of the type HMn(CO)5-x(PR3)x.[9] (R here need not be a purely hydrocarbon component; it may, for instance, be OEt, where Et = ethyl group.)

HMn(CO)5 can be used to reduce olefins and other organic compounds, as well as metal halides.[3]

It can be methylated with diazomethane.[1]

HMn(CO)5 + CH2N2 → Mn(CO)5CH3 + N2
