Abstract Exchange of the cyclopentadienyl ligand in methylcyclopentadienylmanganese(I) tricarbonyl with methyl-substituted benzenes is catalysed by AlCl 3 + HCl and leads to the cations [arene-Mn(CO) 3 ] + . The methylbenzenes isomerize and disproportionate during the reaction. The distribution of the arenes between the solution and the complex ions has been determined. The different complexing abilities of the arenes lead to the proposal of an associative mechanism for the ligand exchange.
