The mononuclear cationic carbyne complexes [MC·C6H4Me-p-(CO)2(η-C5H5)]BF4(M = Mn or Re) react with [(Ph3P)2N][Mn(CO)5] to give compounds [MMn{µ-C(CO)·C6H4Me-p}(CO)6(η-C5H5)]·0·5Et2O in which a CO ligand has transferred to the bridging group; the structure of the dimanganese compound has been established by X-ray crystallography.
