[(Cht)Mn(Cp)]+ (9) +0.70c –1.61d DMF associated reduced form gives rise to a chemical follow product, which oxidizes at –0.52 V
[(MeCht)Mn(Cp)]+ (10) +0.69c –1.62d DMF associated reduced form gives rise to a chemical follow product, which oxidizes at –0.55 V
[(Cht)Mn(CpMe)]+ (11) +0.68c –1.66d DMF associated reduced form gives rise to a chemical follow product, which oxidizes at –0.54 V
[(Cht)Mn(CpCOOMe)]+ (18) +0.88c –1.46d CH3CN associated reduced form gives a chemical follow product, which oxidizes at –0.44 V; further irreversible reduction peak at –2.50 V
