Five new complexes, [M(CO)(5)(nafmsh)] [M Cr, 1; Mo, 2; W, 3], [ Re(CO)(4)Br( nafmsh)], 4 and [Mn(CO)(3)(nafmsh)], 5 have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of metal carbonyls [M(CO)(6)] (M Cr, Mo, W), [Re(CO)(5)Br], and [Mn(CO)(3)Cp] with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde methanesulfonylhydrazone (nafmsh). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, EI mass spectrometry, FT-IR, and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic studies show nafmsh is a monodentate ligand coordinating via the imine N donor atom in 1-4 and as a tridentate ligand in 5.
