The reaction: [(CO)5Mn(Me)] + CO → [(CO)5Mn(CO)Me] is an example of what type of reaction?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the type of reaction represented in the given chemical equation involving manganese and carbon monoxide. This requires an understanding of coordination chemistry and the classification of chemical reactions.
Answer
Migratory insertion.
The final answer is migratory insertion.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is migratory insertion.
More Information
In a migratory insertion reaction, a ligand like CO inserts into another ligand-metal bond, such as a methyl group, forming a new bond and typically resulting in a carbonyl complex.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing migratory insertion with oxidative addition, but oxidative addition involves increasing the oxidation state of the metal.
