The complexation reactions of compounds of the types eta/sup 5/-CpM(CO)/sub n/(PR/sub 3/)/sub 3-n/ (M = Mn, Re; R = i-C/sub 3/H/sub 7/, C/sub 6/H/sub 5/, 4-CH/sub 3/C/sub 6/H/sub 4/; n = 1 to 3) and eta/sup 6/-MesM(CO)/sub 3/ (Mes = 1,3,5-(CH/sub 3/)/sub 3/C/sub 6/H/sub 3/, M = Cr, Mo, W) with aluminum bromide, gallium trichloride, and mercuric trifluoroacetate in various solvents (benzene, methylene chloride, dichloroethane) have been investigated by IR spectroscopy, calorimetry, and measurements of the dielectric constant. The coordination sites have been established. It has been shown that the compounds investigated coordinate the acceptor molecules by means of their metal atoms. One exception is CpMn (CO)/sub 3/, which gives a complex with AlBr/sub 3/ with the participation of an oxygen atom of a carbonyl group. The heats of formation and the dipole moments of the complexes have been determined. The dipole moments of the intermolecular M-Al and M-Ga bonds have been evaluated. On the basis of a comparison of the energy of the coordinate bonds and the degree of charge transfer, it has been conducted that the intermolecular metal-metal bonds in the complexes investigated have a donor-acceptor nature.
