As part of my master's thesis, I synthesised carbene ligands, including N-heterocyclic (IMes and IPr) and cyclic (alkyl)(amino) (cAAC) carbenes, which were then used to prepare various coordination compounds with metal carbonyls. I used three types of metal carbonyls: metal hexacarbonyl (Mo and W), metal bromopentacarbonyl (Mn and Re), and binuclear metal (deca)carbonyl (Mn and Re). During the synthesis of the coordination compounds I experimented with different reaction conditions. I successfully synthesized three already known and eight new coordination compounds. I also managed to synthesise a new manganese fluorocarbonyl by fluorinating the corresponding dimanganese decacarbonyl. The formation of all compounds was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, while all newly synthesised compounds were also characterised by X-ray structural analysis.
