Hi, August's MOTM doesn't have a nice easy name, but goes by the formula [Ag{(NC)Mn(CO)2P(OPh3)(dppm)}2]+. It's one of a family of organometallic compounds that have been recently synthesised, and are unusual in that they contain a central group of 3 metal atoms (-Ag-Mn-Ag-) joined together in a linear chain. The MOTM page is available in Chime & non-Chime formats, and has been written by John Crossley from our X-ray crystallography dept here at Bristol. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Regards, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Paul May, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK tel: +44 (0)117 9287667, fax: +44 (0)117 9251295 <mailto:paul.may@bris.ac.uk> <http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/staff/pwm.htm> "The Psi-Corps is your friend.
