Irradiation (lambda greater than or equal to 320 nm) of (CO)/sub 5/MM'(CO)/sub 3/L and Ph/sub 3/SnM'(CO)/sub 3/L (M, M' = Mn, Re; L = ..cap alpha..-diimine = 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, pyridine-2-carbaldehyde imine, and 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene) leads to homolysis of the metal-metal bond yielding fairly stable solvated radicals SM'(CO)/sub 3/L/sup ./. These paramagnetic species have been studied by ESR spectroscopy in solution directly or by using nitroso-2,2-dimethylpropane as a spin-trapping reagent. The ESR spectra show extensive hyperfine splittings of the unpaired electron with the nuclei /sup 14/N, /sup 1/H, and /sup 55/Mn or /sup 185,187/Re. From the observed and computer-simulated coupling constants important information could be derived about the electronic structure of the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO). After in situ addition of P(OPh)/sub 3/, P(OMe)/sub 3/, or pyridine (=L') to Re(CO)/sub 3/(t-Bu-DAB)/sup ./, the new paramagnetic adducts axial-(L')Re(CO)/sub 3/(t-Bu-DAB)/sup ./ could be identified.
