Taming a silent killer : uncovering the role of excited states and uncoordinated selenium moieties in the CO photorelease mechanism of manganese(i) carbonyl compounds
Manganese carbonyl compounds can release CO when exposed to light, potentially becoming photochemically activated CO-releasing molecules (photoCORMs). Several studies have demonstrated the behavior in the ground state when irradiated with light. However, much remains to be discovered about the chemistry of photoCORMs with uncoordinated ligand moieties and the excited states of these compounds. Thi
