π-complexes as ligands in transition metal compounds V. Interaction of π-pyrrolyltricarbonylmanganese with picric acid

Abstract It has been found that interaction of π-pyrrolyltricarbonylmanganese (PTM) with picric acid gives the binuclear complex I in which the central manganese atom is coordinated with three CO ligands, a PTM molecule, and a picrate anion; the latter two acting as two- and three-electron ligands, respectively.
