The loss of three CO groups from derivatives of π‐C 6 H 5 COC 5 H 4 Mn(CO) 3 is a two‐step mechanism in which the loss of two CO groups is followed by a third. Subsequent fragmentations generally involve rearrangement processes which often result in ring closure within the organic substrate. The central metal atoms plays an important part in such rearrangement processes and the positive charge can reside either on the metal or the ligand depending on the nature of the ligand. Fragmentation patterns are proposed for these systems.
