Abstract
The group 7 complexes [M(κ3-2,6-(R2PO)2C5H3N)(CO)2L][BArF4] [M = Mn, R = iPr, L = THF; M = Re, R = tBu, L = vacant site] undergo in crystallo solid-gas reactivity with CO to form the products of THF substitution or CO addition respectively. There is a large, local, adaptive change of [BArF4] anions for M = Mn, whereas for M = Re the changes are smaller and also remote to the site of reactivity.
