    The water-soluble dimercaptopropanoate-bridged diiron hexacarbonyl complex Na<sub>2</sub>[(μ-SCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>COO)­Fe­(CO)<sub>3</sub>]<sub>2</sub> has been prepared, and the X-ray crystal structure and infrared, UV–visible, and ESI spectra of the complex have been obtained. The complex is shown to behave as a photoCORM, whereby all six CO ligands are released within 30 min of visible-light irradiation. Gas-phase FTIR spectroscopy has been used to quantify the release of CO into the headspace above the aqueous solution. The resulting product, tentatively assigned to an iron thiolate salt, is also water-soluble. Cell viability studies show that Na<sub>2</sub>[(μ-SCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>COO)­Fe­(CO)<sub>3</sub>]<sub>2</sub> is not cytotoxic toward normal epithelial cells

    Significant O–H Bond Weakening in CpMn(CO)<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>OH): Evidence for the Generation of the CpMn(CO)<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>O) Radical upon H Atom Abstraction by O<sub>2</sub>

    The UV–visible photolysis of CpMn­(CO)<sub>3</sub> in methanol generates CpMn­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>OH), which upon H atom abstraction using either O<sub>2</sub>, dpph, or H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> gives the CpMn­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>O) radical complex. The radical with a lifetime of 10 to 20 min has been mainly characterized using FTIR and ESR spectroscopy and chemical oxidation studies. Together with density functional theory calculations, it is shown that the O–H bond is significantly weakened in the CpMn­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>OH) complex compared to free methanol. NBO spin density analysis suggests that the bond cleavage is facilitated by the formation of the CpMn­(CO)<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>O) radical in which the electron spin is localized at the metal center rather than at the oxygen atom
