Synthesis of cyclomanganated complexes derived from 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole and their reactivity with respect to 1,1-diphenyldiazomethane: Evidence for a fluxional trihaptobenzylic coordination mode

The thermolytic coupling of 1,1-diphenyldiazomethane with mono-manganated 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole afforded substantial amounts of a new fluxional trihaptobenzylic complex.
