Paramagnetic organometallic molecules. XV. Electron attachment reactions of metal carbonyls

Abstract

A number of polynuclear metal carbonyl complexes can be used as substrates for electron attachment reactions induced by the photoionization of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine. Theproducts of such reactions are derived from metal carbonyl radicals produced by cleavage of the metal-metal bonds.
