Reactions of cyclomanganated complexes with carbon disulfide: routes to η²-aryldithiocarboxylate-Mn(CO)₄ complexes and to the trithiocarbonate complex (μ₃-CS₃)₂Mn₄(CO)₁₆

Reaction of cyclomanganated aryl ketones with CS₂ proceeds with insertion into the Mn–C bond to give η²-dithiocarboxylato–Mn(CO)₄ compounds. With other cyclomanganated substrates such as that from Ph₃P=S and also with Mn₂(CO)₁₀, CS₂ gives (μ₃-CS₃)₂Mn₄(CO)₁₆ with bridging trithiocarbonate ligands
