Manganese Carbonyl

Mn2(CO)10

CAS: 10170-69-1

Manganese carbonyl, commonly in the form dimanganese decacarbonyl (Mn₂(CO)₁₀), is an sticky yellow crystalline organometallic compound consisting of two manganese atoms bridged by carbonyl ligands. It is air-sensitive and serves as a versatile source of Mn(0) in organometallic chemistry. With its strong metal–carbonyl bonds and unique reactivity, it is widely used as a homogeneous catalyst, precursor for manganese complexes, and reactive intermediate in organic synthesis and materials science.
