The results of visible and near-infrared photochemistry studies of M{sub 2}(CO){sub n}{sup {minus}} compounds (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, 4 {le} n {le} 9) are presented. The authors show that {open_quotes}neutral metal atom loss{close_quotes} from representative anions in this class occurs by electron detachment followed by loss of a neutral metal carbonyl. It is further shown that the electron detachment process can be vibrationally driven.
