The photochemistry of monosubstituted triphenylphosphine derivatives of some metal carbonyl complexes.
PhD thesis, Dublin City University.
The photochemistry of some d6 metal carbonyl complexes is investigated. In particular, the effect of the substitution of a carbon monoxide ligand by a tnphenylphosphine ligand on the reactivity of the intermediates formed on photolysis of these complexes is examined. The manganese complexes (775-C5H4CH3)Mn(CO)3 and (tj5- C5H4CH3)Mn(CO)2PPh3 are investigated by laser flash photolysis (X = 355nm). The laser flash photolysis ( \ = 266nm, 355nm) of the Group VI M(CO)5PPh3 (M = Cr, Mo or W) complexes is also îeported.
The crystal structures of the (T/5-C5H4CH3)Mn(CO)2L (L = pyridine, cvs-cyclooctene) complexes are presented and examined to see the effects of a good a donating ligand and a good n accepting ligand on the (775-C5H4CH3)Mn(CO)2 unit.
A program wntten in GWBASIC for transient capture and analysis is described.
