Previously unknown carbonyl complexes were synthesized: C/sub 6/H/sub 6/Cr(CO)/sub 2/PFcPhH, C/sub 6/H/sub 6/Cr(CO)/sub 2/PFc/sub 2/H, C/sub 5/H/sub 5/Mn(CO)/sub 2/PFcPhH, C/sub 5/H/sub 5/Mn(CO)/sub 2/PFc/sub 2/H, and M(CO)/sub 5/PFc/sub 2/H (M = Cr, Mo, W). The ligands PFcPhH and PFc/sub 2/H have weaker electron-donor properties than the ligand PFc/sub 3/ in analogous systems. Under the conditions of isotopic exchange of hydrogen in CF/sub 3/COOH there occurs the protonation of C/sub 6/H/sub 6/Cr(CO)/sub 2/PFcH on the chromium atom. For the complex C/sub 6/H/sub 6/Cr(CO)/sub 2/PFc/sub 2/H it was found that, in the reaction of the isotopic exchange of hydrogen, hydrogens of both the ..pi..-benzene ring and the ..pi..-cyclopentadienyl rings of the phosphine ligand take part, and, moreover, at equal rates. By the method of the isotopic exchange of hydrogen and by spectral methods (IR and PMR) it was shown that the nature of the central metal atom in the complexes M(CO)/sub 5/PFc/sub 2/H, in which M = Cr, Mo, W, has no substantial influence on the spectral characteristics and on the reactivities of these complexes.
